The book tells the story of creation of a unique architectural ensemble of Ancient Russia - the Resurrection Monastery near Moscow, called the New Jerusalem. The reader opens the entire history of the ancient Christian tradition of recreating the holy places of Palestine, the crown of which can rightly be this ensemble near Moscow, the brainchild of Patriarch Nikon and Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich. The readers will also find in the book the complexity and accuracy of the sacred topography in the spatial arrangement of the monastery and its holy places in the past and present.
