NOTE: Music for this movie is Greek Orthodox
After you enter the front gates of the monastery the first thing you see is the wide and long steps leading too the Bell Tower. As you walk down to the tower it gets bigger and bigger. The walkway sends you thru the middle of the arched walkway. As you enter the Archway you will see a beautiful Icons that are in need of repairs but are being restored by some of Russia Orthodox Churches best Iconography artist . The Bell Tower has monks cells on both sides of it. As you exit the bell tower you enter the main courtyard and you will see the main Church building to the left.
In the summer of 2006 Korennaya Hermitage was waiting on special Icon painters to repaint the Bell Tower Archway with monasteries wall paintings called frescoes. These experts will bring back that extra special feeling when you enter into the monasteries main courtyard. Many other needed repairs and upgrades was done this summer thru out the monastery.
