Spring
2022..
From
the
Kozelsk
bus
station
I
walked
to
the
monastery...
it
was
drizzling
with
light
rain...
10
km...
to
the
place
of
prayer
chosen
by
God...
Beautiful
-
Zhizdra
on
the
left,
Ugric
Reserve
on
the
right...
Some
excitement
passed
immediately
as
soon
as
I
saw
the
garbage
along
the
asphalt
highway
to
the
monastery,
parking
for
500
cars,
modern
taverns
for
the
enjoyment
of
pilgrims.
I
wouldn’t
be
surprised
if
a
runway
is
made
here
for
private
nouveau
riche
sinners...
At
the
Holy
Gate,
guards
prohibit
the
passage
of
ladies
with
bare
knees
and
visitors
with
professional
video
cameras...
He
bowed
to
the
figure
of
his
worldly
namesake,
the
last
elder,
Hieromonk
Nikon...
The
loud
communication
and
laughter
of
those
planting
flower
seedlings
and
florists
really
hit
my
ears...
In
general,
visitors
did
everything
the
same
as
at
home...a
market
on
smartphones...
Very
majestic,
dignified
and
godly
beautiful...
To
the
Chapel
of
the
Resurrection
of
Christ,
in
memory
of
the
three
murdered
monks
in
1993,
a
separate
bow...
N.B.
Special
thanks
to
Nikolai,
who
along
the
way
took
me
with
him
to
Kaluga.
He
was
taking
his
family
to
Tula
for
a
football
match.
