Morning light touches the Church of the Intercession-on-the-Nerl, in Moscow's
famous "Golden Ring'.
*This structure was built in the latter part of the twelfth century at fortified site of Bogoliubovo, high on a point overlooking the Kliazma river. It was built by Prince Andrei, who was himself nicknamed Bogoliubski (God-loving). It was constructed to commemorate the death of his oldest son, killed in a battle with the Volga Bulgars. |
