New Jerusalem Monastery_sunset - a photo on Flickriver

            The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 in the Moscow region by Patriarch Nikon. According to his plan, the monastery was to become the center of the Orthodox world. Topography, place names, church buildings of the monastery and the surrounding area, stretching for several tens of kilometers, created the image of the Holy Land and reproduced the main Christian shrines of Palestine. On the hill located in the center of this territory, called Zion, a monastery was founded - a kind of city-temple. Some buildings of the monastery complex repeat the outlines of the structures of the Holy Land, and the main cathedral of the monastery, consecrated in 1685, was built in the likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The cathedral reproduces the sacred likenesses of Mount Calvary, the cave of the Holy Sepulcher, the place of the three-day burial and the Life-giving Resurrection of the Savior. The towers also have symbolic names: Entry Jerusalem, Gethsemane, etc. The hills surrounding the monastery were called the Olives, Favorsky, etc., the villages - Preobrazhenskoe, Nazareth, Capernaum. The fast winding river Istra, named Jordan, flows through the land of Russian Palestine; the stream flowing around the monastery hill is the Kidron Stream. Nowadays, a significant part of the territory is occupied by the city of Istra, which until 1930 was called Voskresenskoye.

In 1919 the monastery was closed, on its territory the New Jerusalem museum was opened, the holy places were partly destroyed, partly consigned to oblivion and changed beyond recognition.
Having begun to decay even after it was closed, the monastery suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War. During the three-week German occupation in 1941, the museum was looted. During the retreat of the Nazi troops, the monastery was blown up, the tower and the bell tower of the monastery were destroyed, and the cathedral was significantly damaged.
Restoration work at the monastery began in 1947; they were carried out especially intensively in the 1960s and 1980s.
In 1994, the process of transferring the buildings of the monastery to the Russian Orthodox Church began. Jul 18, 1994
Full-scale restoration activities began in December 2011. The restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral was completed in 2015.
