Viking River Cruise stop Yaroslavl/ Prophet Elias
dustmon Says: This stop was one of the more crowded stops on our cruise. The Church of Prophet Elias's frescoes are incredibly beautiful, and the insides of the Church are festooned with many other artworks and statues. We were very crowded in---the whole sanctuary was full of people...
the frescos of the winter-church
globetrott Says: Dont miss to take a closer look at the great frescos of the winter-church of the Church of Iliya Prorok / Prophet Elias Kirche. The winterchurch is ment for the cold winters, so it is more easy to heat up the room with just a very low ceiling. All of these great frescos and...
The iconostasis of Prophet Elias church
globetrott Says: In russian orthodox churches the iconostasis is always deviding the altar , (that is a part of the church that only the priest is allowed to enter, and tourists will never be able to see) and the part of the church that is ment for the believers, and where the service will...
the frescos in the main church of Prophet Elias
globetrott Says: These are the wonderful frescos of the main church of Prophet Elias in Yaroslavl. All of the columns, the ceiling and the walls are paited in the most unique way and you wont find any empty spot, not telling stories of the holy bible to the audience of believers, who are...
the entrance-hall of the Prophet Elias Church
globetrott Says: The entrance-hall of the Prophet Elias Church is the first sight of this great church that you will see as a tourist : Wide arcades decorated all over by excellent and colorful frescos by the russian painters Sila Savin and Gury Nikitin in the beginnings of the 18th century....
Church of Iliya Prorok / Prophet Elias Kirche
globetrott Says: The Church of Iliya Prorok / Prophet Elias Kirche is in my opinion the most important sight for all tourists coming to Yaroslavl. You will find it in the city-centre, on the large Sovietskaja-square. The church dates back to the year 1647, it was built by a rich merchant and...
Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery
globetrott Says: This old church is part of the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery inside of the Kremlin-walls and the tower next to it is the belfry,that was unfortunately under reconstruction while I had been there in May 2008.Here on VT you will read that the view from the tower is...
The Feodor Volkov Drama Theatre
globetrott Says: The Feodor Volkov Regional Drama Theatre is the pride of Yaroslavl, because it was there, where for the first in Russia a theatre-performance was done in the russian language and that was back in the year 1750. The theatre building of that time does not exist anymore and the...

pinik Says: The Moscow-Yaroslavl express is the convinient way to get to Yaroslavl from Moscow and back. It goes 2 times every day. And reach Yaroslavl in 4 hours with two intermediate stops - in Sergiev Posad (Zagorsk) and Rostov.I'd recommend to buy the 2nd class tickets, as, IMHO,...
globetrott Says: I came by cruiseship to Yaroslavl, it is in a distance of more or less 2 days from Moscow, and it will be a stop in any cruise between St. Petersburg and Moscow, just as well as in cruises from Perm to Moscow, like I have done it in May 2008.Retschnoy Vauxhall is the name of...
From Yaroslavsky Vauxhall in Moscow to Yaroslavl
globetrott Says: Yaroslavl has a direct railway from Moscow and in Moscow you are leaving from Yaroslavsky station / Yaroslavsky Vauxhall, so that is really easy to remember. (b.t.w. Vauxhall is pronouced exactely like the british car-manufactory, even though the russian spelling is a bit...
inside the winterchurch of prophet Elias: great singers with lousy CDs
globetrott Says: Inside of the winterchurch of the Church of Iliya Prorok / Prophet Elias you will be able to listen to a great a-capella-chorus and at the end of the prerformance they are selling some CDs, that are obviously not made by themselves, but with other singers !And while their...
playing the chimes in Yaroslavl
globetrott Says: This was one of the highlights of our guided tour through Yaroslavl: These bells are placed in front of the belfry of Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery inside of the Kremlin-walls and there is a small box for donations and when-ever a tour-group is willing to throw in some...
globetrott Says: Il'insko-Tikhonovskaya Church looks more like a greek temple than like a russian orthodox church, but it was built in the beginning of the 19th century at exactely the same place, as the oldest church of Yaroslavl was built back in the 11th century. Il'insko-Tikhonovskaya...
globetrott Says: There are lots of great churches in Yaroslavl and besides of the ornate Church of the Prophet Elias, the Church of Nikola Nadein might be interesting for you as well, I saw a photo of its great interior in the page of Andrej (VT-member bugulma) and have no idea, why this...
The river Wolga and some great pavillons
globetrott Says: For many centuries the river Wolga was very important for the city of Yaroslavl, that had been one of the most important ports in Russia, before the one in St. Petersburg was built. You will find great boulevards along the river and at some places you will also see such...
small houses in Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery
globetrott Says: Inside of the Kremlin and next to the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery you will find this interesting village of small-scale wooden houses built in the traditional russian architecture. I have no idea what is the idea behind of it, but these lovely houses are really nice to...
the eternal flame for WW II-victims
globetrott Says: The eternal flame for WW II-victims is also part of the official tour through Yaroslavl and you will find it inside a large park in the area, where the small river Kotorosl is flowing into the mighty Wolga-river. In Russia you will find such monuments in almost any city and...

bugulma Says: The church is situated on the Volga River Embankment, not far from the spit (direction to the River Port). It has one of the richest iconostasis I've ever seen (look at the picture). The church was been built in 1620-1622 in order of merchant Nadey Sveteshnikov. The first...
