Moscow courtyard of the Holy Trinity-Sergius Lavra

The Moscow compound of the Holy Trinity-Sergius Lavra is one of the historical and spiritual centers of particular value to the capital. At one time, he was often visited by members of the imperial house, such as Tsar Alexander II and his wife Maria Alexandrovna, the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, as well as Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.

Currently, the building of the Metropolitan Chambers and the House Church have been reconstructed, divine services are constantly held, lectures are given, a theater studio, a Sunday school and a choir school are operating.
