Holy Cross Cathedral of the monastery on the White Mountain

In this photo, the Holy Cross Cathedral of the Belogorsky St. Nicholas Missionary Monastery.

The Belogorsky Nikolaevsky Monastery is located in the area of ​​Belaya Gora (White Mountain)  Kungursky District, Perm Region. This monastery was once called the Ural Athos because of the severity of the charter

The monastery was founded in 1891 in memory of “the miraculous deliverance of Tsesarevich Nicholas from danger in Japan”

The temple was built from 1902 to June 9, 1917. This is the largest temple in the Urals, accommodating more than 5 thousand people. The design of the cathedral was developed by the architect. E. I. Artyomov by a model of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Now only 11 monks live in the monastery. I just cannot imagine how they How do they deal with this amount of work? The monastery has experienced many tragic events in its history, but now it is being revived.
