The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra “In the land of Moscow and all over the world there is no other monastery equal to this one…” - Archdeacon Paul of Aleppa
Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel
One of the highlights of our trip to Russia, (my wife’s and myself, her sister, and my brother in law) was without any doubt our trip to the Golden Ring and especially to The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra church in the city of Sergiev Posad which is considered to be one of the most important religious centers in Russia and a pilgrimage site especially to believers in Orthodox Christianity. Since we arrived with our “private” guide who had “pre-arranged” personal guidance for us, so we “got” a young guide from the church staff who took us under his wings and led us to all the interesting places (and they are many) throughout the site. Explained to us the history of the place from its inception to the present day. Starting from the entrance area with the arched door and the amazing frescoes on the walls and ceiling and later all the spectacular sites (and they are many). In conclusion a most amazing place NOT 2 B MISSED.

Like the kremlin, this monastery is surrounded by big white walls. The main church inside is beautiful, and I loved the decor.

I got to the Church of Sts Boris and Gleb by tourist shuttle bus. It runs on a schedule from downtown Suzdal during the tourist season. You can check it out on the tourism web-site of Suzdal before your visit. The church itself is really stunning. It was before the Mongol invasion. I walked slowly reading all the captions. I had plenty of time. By the next bus arrival I was ready to continue my sightseeing trip.
