Forefeast of Transfiguration
The Snetogorsk Monastery sits quietly by the water on this gray afternoon. It always puts me in mind of our own church back home.

Ольга Бойко I would like to see this place live. Thanks for the photo.
Максим Шевченко Interesting brickwork on the walls, especially near the roof. Thanks for the photo.
Александар Ристески The Macedonian limestone they use there in the Pskov region is very similar to ours from Lake Ohrid. And the photo shows that it has endured well. Thanks for the picture.
Теодора Василева Nice photo, you can see how the bricks have been preserved.
Δέσποινα Νικολαΐδου The monastery is dedicated to Saint Savvas the Sanctified. The stone around the windows still clearly shows its joints.
Mateo Romero I would like to see it in person one day. Thanks for sharing the photo.
Софья Комарова The masonry is really strong, especially noticeable at the corners near the windows. Thanks for the photo.
Методи Костов I wish I could see him live sometime. Thanks for the picture.
Anthony Collins The brickwork around the windows still looks solid after all these years. Thanks for the picture.
Ondřej Novák The brick bond by the windows is really solid, you can see it even on the gray wall. Thanks for the photo.
Teodora Popescu I would like to see this monastery with my own eyes. Thanks for the picture.
George Wright The way the roofline cuts straight across that gray sky is pretty sharp. The bricks up there still look tight. Thanks for the photo.
Γεωργία Βασιλείου The monastery seems to still have a strong structure after all these years. Does anyone know when services are held there and if they receive visitors daily?
Δήμητρα Αθανασίου The stone around the windows shows clear joints even in this gray light.
Nemanja Savić The brick on the corners still holds. Thanks for the picture.
Alexandru Matei The brick at the corners looks well bound, holding strong even under this gloomy sky. Thanks for the picture.
Тимофей Тарасов The brick on the corners really holds up well, I read that they fired it right in Pskov during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Thanks for the photo.
Dhimitër Thanasi I liked how the masonry at the corners of the windows held up even under that dark sky. Thanks for the picture.
Ioana Stoica The monastery is dedicated to Saint Sava the Holy, you can clearly see how the stone is placed on the windows. Thanks for the picture.
