What awaits you
The main Zarayskaya relic In the first third of the 13th century, the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was brought to our land. Many years have passed since then, but believers still come here, continuing the pilgrimage tradition, which has long been observed by both ordinary people and kings and princes. You will trace the history of the Zaraysk shrine and learn how one of the first copies of the ancient icon was recently returned to the monastery
Monasteries and temples of the city On the territory of the smallest surviving Kremlin in Russia, I will introduce you to the history of the construction of the citadel and the traditions of local church life. You will visit the John the Baptist and Nikolsky monasteries. And outside the Kremlin, you will visit the Annunciation Church with ancient revered icons, where you will learn about the feat of the Ryazan and Arzamas soldiers who died in battle with the Poles during the defense of Zaraisk. If you wish, you will go to the Ilyinsky temple, built by Zaraysk merchants
