The Resurrection Monastery or New Jerusalem Monastery is a major male monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow Oblast, Russia. The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 by Patriarch Nikon as a patriarchal residence in the vicinity of Moscow. This site was chosen for its resemblance to the Holy Land. The River Istra represents the Jordan, and the buildings represent the 'sacral space' or holy places of Jerusalem. (Photo © credits to nat-geo.ru/Tatiana Belyakova)
