It is the preeminent landmark of Zvenigorod, a town 48 km west of Moscow.

St. Savva of Storozhi was interred in the white stone cathedral of the Virgin's Nativity in 1407.

    Cham Albanians, or Chams , are a sub-group of Albanians who originally resided in the western part of the region of Epirus in northwestern Greece, an area known among Albanians as Chameria.
