An Incredible photo of snowy Belogorsky Monastery in Perm, Russia. This church in the Urals looks amazing all year round, but it is majestic in winter.
The history of the Belogorsky St. Nicholas monastery has roots in the so-called Otsu incident that happened to the future emperor Nicholas II in 1891. That year, the Grand Duke Nicholas paid an official visit to Japanese city of Otsu, where, he was attacked, but luckily, stayed safe.
In honor of Nicholas’s II rescue, a ten-meter-tall cross was established on the Belaya Gora (White Mountain) in the Urals. Two years later was founded the monastery which was titled 'Belogorsky' after the mountain.
