Church on Cave Monastery grounds

There were several churches on the grounds of the Russian Orthodox Monastery grounds. I visited the cave monastery that was below ground level. Priests were preserved in glass coffins dressed in elaborate robes. It was very claustrophobic, hot, crowded, low ceiling, narrow walkway. I wouldn't do it again.
