The exhibition "Angelic Image. Christmas" continues in the exhibition hall of the Vasily Nesterenko Moscow State Art Gallery.
This exposition offers an opportunity to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of the Feast of the Nativity of Christ while viewing magnificent landscapes that capture the winter magic of nature. Today there is a revival of monasticism in our country: new monasteries are being built, and ancient ones are being revived and restored. There is renewed keen interest in monasticism across different layers of society. But not everyone has the opportunity to become acquainted with monastic asceticism from the inside, to learn how modern "angels on earth" live. The exhibition presents portraits of contemporary monks, abbots of monasteries, patriarchs, as well as ancient great saints who left a deep mark on Russian spiritual history, such as Nil of Stolobny.
