Saint Alexander Nevsky Monastery in Saint Petersburg
Saint Alexander Nevsky Monastery or Saint Alexander Nevsky Lavra was founded by Peter I of Russia in 1710 at the eastern end of the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg supposing that that was the site of the Neva Battle in 1240 when Alexander Nevsky, a prince, defeated the Swedes.
The relics of St. Alexander Nevsky were solemnly transferred from Vladimir to the new capital of Russia September 12, 1724 by decree of Peter I. Nevsky became patron of the newly founded Russian capital; however, the massive silver sarcophagus of St. Alexander Nevsky was relocated during Soviet times to the State Hermitage Museum where it remains (without the relics) today.
It also contains the Lazarev and Tikhvin Cemeteries, where ornate tombs of Leonhard Euler, Mikhail Lomonosov, Alexander Suvorov, Nikolay Karamzin, Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Karl Ivanovic Rossi, Prince Garsevan Chavchavadze, a Georgian aristocrat, Sergei Witte and other famous Russians are preserved.
During the Revolution, People's Commissar of Social Welfare Kollontai wanted to convert the monastery into a 'sanctuary for war invalids'; she sent a group of sailors 19 January 1918, who were met by an angry crowd of worshipers, and after some fighting a priest was shot and killed.
Today Alexander Nevsky Lavra sits on Alexander Nevsky Square, where shoppers can buy bread baked by the monks. Visitors may also visit the cathedral and cemeteries for a small admission fee. While many of the grave sites are situated behind large concrete walls, especially those of famous Russians, many can be seen by passers-by while strolling down Obukovskoy Oburony Street.

НЕВСКАЯ ЛАВРА ALEXANDER NEVSKY LAVRA ДОКАФИЛЬМ St. Petersburg Russia

Icon Restoration - St Alexander Nevsky Lavra
On a visit to Russia in July 2013, my husband, Fr. Gregory, and I went to St. Alexander Nevsky Lavra (Monastery) in St. Petersburg and had a guided tour of the icon restoration workshop. Icons have to coexist with smoke from candles and incense and get darkened over time, and over the course of centuries someone will decide to repaint on top of them. The Soviets destroyed many icons, too. There is a lot of work to be done to preserve and rescue icons.
Our translator is Elena Morozova, a parishioner of our church, Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Linthicum, MD; she grew up in Moscow. Editing this I can hear how very tired she is. I didn't realize translating was so exhausting. At the UN, I'm told, they let a translators work 30 minutes at a time. Elena had been translating for us continually for days.

SCRIPT
An 18-tonne bell, named 'Alexander Nevsky', arrived at the Saint Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St Petersburg on Monday.
After being cast in Kamensk-Uralsky in the Sverdlovsk region, the bell travelled through 11 Russian cities including Yekaterinburg, Ufa, Samara, Saratov, Penza, Ryazan, Moscow, Yaroslavl, Vologda, Cherepovets and Tikhvin.
It is to be installed in the belfry of the Troitsky Cathedral in the grounds of the monastery in October. The belfry is currently undergoing repairs.
The bell is named after 13th century Russian hero Aleksandr Nevsky, the Grand Prince of Novgorod and Vladimir who was sainted by the Orthodox Church because of his military victories over the Swedes and Germans.
