The monastery was founded in 1653 ny the future Patriarch Nikon (See the New Jerusalem photos) pursuant to a vision of the Virgin Mary to him who ordered to establish a monastery here. The island (it has two names, Rudnev and Ryabinovy (Rowan)), the lake (its name, Valday, is an ancient word "Clear") and the surrounding forests form a natiuonal park. |
