Sergiev Posad

This is probably the best palce we visited on the Golden Ring So we

Now comes the WOW! The town of Sergiev Posad which tributes St. Sergiev as founder of the local Trinity Monastery and patron saint of all of Russia, among the most important and active in Russia---it exudes ORTHODOXY. It is so impressive! Bearded priests bustle about; babushka ladies fill bottles of holy water, crowds of believers light candles to St. Sergiev. This mystical place is a window into the age-old belief system, the Russian Orthodox Church.
It was evening when we arrived, but we managed to catch the final service of the day, complete with hymns and incense. Every step in this ancient walled town, screams “photo opt”.
