The Resurrection Monastery (Russian: Воскресенский монастырь, Voskresensky Monastery) or New Jerusalem Monastery (Russian: Новоиерусалимский монастырь, Novoiyerusalimsky Monastery) is a major monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow Oblast, Russia. The Voskresensky Monastery has given rise to the eponymous village, which has grown into the town of Voskresensk (currently known as Istra). From 2010 to 2016, a large-scale restoration was carried out. The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 by Patriarch Nikon as a patriarchal residence in the vicinity of Moscow. The monastery took its name from the concept of New Jerusalem. This site was chosen for its resemblance to the Holy Land. The River Istra represents the Jordan, and the buildings represent the 'sacral space' or holy places of Jerusalem. More information...
