Cittadina di circa 110.000 abitanti, situata 7O km a nord di Mosca prende il nome da San Sergio di Radonez. Centro secolare di tradizioni storiche e spirituali, Sergiev Posad č meta di turisti e pellegrini che vengono a visitare il grandioso complesso del Monastero della Trinitą e San Sergio (Troizy Sergijeva lavra) l'appellativo «Lavra» sta a indicare che il Monastero godeva di maggiori privilegi di quelli che potevano fregiarsi dell'appellativo di «Monastyr», ma che, tuttavia, non per questo erano meno venerati. Lo fondņ, nel 1340, il monaco San Sergio, uno dei pił venerati santi russi.
Devastato dai Mongoli, nel XV secolo, sotto le rovine fu ritrovato il corpo quasi intatto del Santo, un vero miracolo; il Monastero fu ricostruito, Il complesso fortificato comprende due cattedrali, quattro Chiese, il refettorio, il seminario e l'ospedale.
La Cattedrale dell'Assunzione (1559-1584), dall'aspetto imponente, assai vasta e con cinque cupole azzurre decorate con stelle dorate, ha le pareti interne tutte affrescate e ornate di stucchi; da notare la ricca iconostasi del XVII secolo e la tomba dello zar Boris Godunov (morto nel 1605), unico degli zar a non essere seppellito a Mosca.
ENGLISH
Sergiyev Posad (Russian: Се́ргиев Поса́д) is a city and the administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia. It grew up in the 15th century around one of the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Troitse-Sergiyeva (Trinity) Lavra established by St. Sergius of Radonezh. The town became incorporated in 1742. As the town's name, alluding to St. Sergius, had strong religious connotations, the Soviet authorities changed first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky. The original name came back into official use in 1991. According to the 2002 Census, the town had population of 113,581, down from 114,696 recorded in the 1989 Census.
Tourism associated with the Golden Ring plays a role in the regional economy. There is also an important factory of toys.
In 1947, the Soviet Union established its first factory to weaponize smallpox at the edge of Sergiyev Posad.
The Moscow Yaroslavl railway and highway pass through the town. Sergiyev Posad Bus Terminal is located in the city.
POLSKA
Siergijew Posad (rus. Сергиев Посад), miasto w Rosji, w obwodzie moskiewskim, siedziba Siergijewo-Posadskiego rejonu. Miasto położone 71 km na północ od Moskwy, przy linii kolejowej Moskwa - Jarosław, nad rzeką Kanczurą i jej dopływami. W 2005 Siergijew Posad liczył 114,1 tys. mieszkańców.
Początkowo na obszarze dzisiejszego miasta znajdowało się kilka niewielkich wiosek i przysiółków (m.in. Kokujewo, Panino, Klementiewo), powstały w końcu XIV wieku i na początku XV wokół klasztoru Troicko-Siergijewskiego (od 1744 ławry), założonego w latach 40. XIV wieku przez błogosławionego Siergieja Radoneżskiego. Wsie były znane dzięki rzemiosłu, drewnianej rzeźbie i produkcji zabawek. W 1782 Katarzyna II założyła w tym miejscu miasto, które w 1792 przybrało regularny plan. W 1845 Siergiewskij Posad połączyła szosa z Moskwą, zaś w 1862 doprowadzono linię kolejową. W 1919 roku miasto zmieniło nazwę na Siergijew. W 1930 przyjęło nazwę Zagorsk, na cześć działacza rewolucyjnego W. Lubockiego (Zagorskiego). W 1992 przywrócono miastu historyczną nazwę.
ENGLISH
Sergiyev Posad, located 90 kilometers from Moscow and sometimes called the "Vatican" of the Russian Orthodox Church, is as stunning up-close as it is from far off. As you approach the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra, the fortified Monastary, which houses the cathedrals and bell towers of Sergiyev posad its golden and blue domes gleam in the sunlight.
Inside the gates, there is a religious hush as Orthodox pilgrims from all over Russia cross themselves before the cathedrals of the fortified monastary and line up to visit the tomb of St. Sergius of Radonezh, Patron Saint of all Russia, whose moral fortitude and support of Dmitri Donskoy helped Ancient Rus shake off the yoke of the Mongol Hordes. A funeral ceremony for St. Sergius, entombed in a massive silver casket, runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Sergius founded the monastary in 1345. The original monastary here was of wood, but the current monastic complex dates mostly from the 15th to the 19th centuries, a stunning collection of cathedrals and belltowers. The first stone cathedral, the Trinity Cathedral, was built by Serbian monks in 1422. The Assumption Cathedral, built by Ivan the Terrible in 1559, contains the remains of Boris Godunov, regent of Russia from 1584 to 1598, as well as several patriarchs of the Orthodox Church.
For 500 years, Sergiyev Posad has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites in all of Russia. It became a UN World Heritage Site in 1993. The monastary, walled in stone in the mid-16th century, survived a Polish-Lituanian Siege in 1608, and sheltered the young Perer the Great from his enemies twice during his reign. The large bell-tower at the monastary dates from the reign of Empress Elisabeth (1744). The Posad was closed after the Russian Revolution but re-opened after Stalin's "conversion" during World War II.
Sergiyev Posad is easily reached by inter-urban train from Yaroslavskiy Vokzal in Moscow (Metro Station Komsomolskaya). Depending on whether you take an express or slow train, time to the Posad can vary from less than one hour to almost two hours. Tickets are readily available for the interurban trains: there is no need to book in advance. The town has a number of good restaurants and hotels, though there really is no need to spend the night: the sights worth seeing are all located within the Lavra itself, and easily toured in a day, returning in the evening to Moscow by electric train. |
