Biblical Public loo is dangerously overpowering and rank. It took two days to get the smell out of my clothes and nostrils. In severe need of complete modernisation before the devil itself emerges from the appalling hole in the ground. No joke. Western expectations of the healing waters probably include pure, sparkling, mineral water mystically lit with blue, white and UV LEDs; perhaps a faint whiff of sulphur, reassuring us of the volcanic depths from which this pure, natural water has emerged, accessed through beautifully white tiled and stainless steel changing rooms, gently ushered by glowing, hovering nuns, also in white.... Reality. Stagnant 'stream' with no flow. Large, dark, garden shed covers concrete ramp to small pool in muddy hole. Throughput is human, not water. 5,000 dunked bodies in one small pool gave us mild ear infections and healed, well, nothing. Like the public loos, this facility would benefit from considerable investment. The monastery, churches, and liturgies, however, are stunning.

The story of this spiritual sites dates back to the 16th century but the Orthodox cathedral was built much more recently at the beginning of the 20th century. There are 6 other churches inside the wall dedicated to their own saint. You can have a stroll in the park and get in the cathedral but you must be quiet at all times, there are over 100 nuns on the site. You can buy their honey (it s delicious) and help preserve the site.

A must-see place in Eastern Estonia, even if you are a nonbeliever. Beautiful and well-maintained monastery yard, definitely worth to take a 30-45 min walk. Watch out for signs and avoid getting too close to wooden houses where nuns live. Parking lot near the main entry seems to be only for guests who agreed their visit in advance, so best to park your car a bit further.

Информация с сайта монастыря, да, да, есть и такой). Богородицкая гора, на вершине которой расположен Пюхтицкий Свято-Успенский монастырь, издревле носила название Куремяэ (эст. – Журавлиная гора). Еще в XII-XIII веках через эти места пролегал торговый путь, соединявший Новгородскую и Псковскую земли с древними эстонскими городами Юрьевом (Тарту) и Колыванью (Таллин). В те далекие времена возникли в этом районе первые русские поселения. С XIII века с экспансией крестоносцев началась католизация края. И все же часть населения оставалась верной православию, искала в нем поддержку. С введением в Эстляндии лютеранства (в первой половине XVI века) для иноверных наступили трудные времена. Православные храмы, часовни разрушались. Богослужение совершалось на непонятном эстам немецком языке. В ХV столетии здесь были мученики за православную веру. В древнем Юрьеве в 1472 году пресвитер Никольской церкви Исидор с 72-мя прихожанами были схвачены на реке Омовже во время крещенского водосвятия, заключены в тюрьму и через два дня брошены под лед в той самой Иордани, на которую они выходили в праздник Богоявления. И вот, в этом краю, в утешение измученному в непосильной борьбе с тевтонскими рыцарями эстонскому народу, явилась Божия Матерь. Обретение иконы Успения Пресвятой Богородицы пастухами Обретение иконы Успения Пресвятой Богородицы пастухами По свидетельству Сыренецкой летописи XVI века более четырех веков назад в Куремяэ было знамение. Ранним летним утром пастухи увидели на горе Светозарную Деву в дивном лазурном одеянии. Они устремились на гору – видение скрылось. Когда же стали удаляться, Она вновь предстала их взорам. Вернувшись домой, пастухи рассказали об этом жителям своей деревни. На другой день на рассвете селяне отправились на гору и тоже увидели Пречистую Деву Марию, в сиянии чудного света стоящую... На третий день собрались у горы крестьяне со всех окрестных деревень. И вновь Пресвятая Дева почтила их Своим явлением. Она стояла у подножья горы, где забил источник ключевой воды. Потом Пречистая Дева стала подниматься все выше, выше и, остановившись у величавого дуба, скрылась от их взоров. На том месте, где стояла Пресвятая Дева Мария, селяне обрели в расщелине дуба икону Успения Божией Матери. Крестьяне-эстонцы, будучи лютеранами, передали икону православным, которые построили на месте явления у древнего дуба часовню в честь Успения Божией Матери и поставили там обретенный образ. С той поры Журавлиную гору стали называть Пюхтицкой, то есть Святой. Образ Успения Пресвятой Богородицы Образ Успения Пресвятой Богородицы Сейчас икона, облаченная в серебряную позолоченную ризу, украшенную драгоценными камнями, стоит у правого пилона центрального нефа Успенского собора. Источник, с берега которого пастух наблюдал знамение, считается святым. Он не замерзает в холодные зимы. Купания в нем помогли многим избавиться от тяжелых недугов. До сих пор сохранился и старый дуб, под которым нашли образ Успения Богоматери. Ученые полагают, что ему не менее 1000 лет. Его высота 26,5 метра, обхват ствола свыше 4 метров. Он также почитается святым, и всяк сюда приходящий пытался отщепить от него хотя бы кусочек коры. Сегодня вокруг древнего великана возведена ограда. А рядом стоит воссозданная часовенка XVI века, внутри которой находится...

With Snow on the ground, wearing fur jacket walking hand in hand with your Love. Singing In native tongue For Peace On Earth Good Will for man in a crazy Time. Is majestic. This is not an average tour stop. In case you did not know my entries are not average. The Rich History of going thru Nazis then Horrible Communist. And the endurance of Women who Loved the People is Off the Charts. So many have no idea what real Nuns were and some are today. I honor them, And the Holy mother who Gave birth to our Lord. And my own birth mom and my dear New mom or step mom. Merry Christmas World. If your around come here. We are the folks that have some fun stuff going on in this region. We are part of something special and your welcome to join us. may your Family be filled with Love as we...
