On the monastery grounds, at every step there are signs saying "No photography." Apparently, this is why the monks' lives are "turned backwards" to us.

Nata Kub, monos is one.
A monastery is secluded.

Maybe we should harmonize it so people aren't surprised?

This world is called a spiritual greenhouse.
The nation's flower is there.

I think photography in secular churches should be banned (the argument is that it creates a distraction). Not to mention monasteries.
My opinion.

I completely agree with you! That's why I wrote this comment! If it says "forbidden," why bother going there and breaking the rules? Just for the sake of a picture? That's our problem—getting into places we shouldn't and then being proud of our inappropriate behavior!

Nata Kub, it's different... "the monks' lives are turned backwards," and it doesn't bother them at all! Have you ever seen monks posing for the camera?

Nata Kub, a monos is one.
A monastery is secluded.

Maybe we should bring it into line so people aren't surprised?

This world is called a spiritual greenhouse.
The nation's elite reside there.

That's my opinion.
Illustrator Voroschilin S D, endless tours of monasteries should also be banned; the grounds are too hectic with endless tourists arriving.

Nata Kub, so excursions are allowed, but taking photos is prohibited))) Some inflamed idiot came up with this ban) Reminds me of the bans on taking photos in stores)))

Your brain is inflamed. Why would they ban photography in secular churches?

I've taken quite a lot of photos in churches and monasteries, especially in closed areas where entry is prohibited. The only requirement is not to take close-up shots of monks, that's all. And then there's the fee for taking photos in churches and monasteries, sometimes for donations, and sometimes for a specific amount. It's one way to generate additional income.

Vladimir Bayker, yes, they make a decent living there, Volodya. And they sell items from the capital's shops and stores, not handicrafts from the temple.

Nata Kub, but what about approaching the abbot and asking for permission and his blessing to film? Weak?!

Vladimir Bayker, you can't create temptation.

During the proskomedia, flashes from the altar.
How is that possible?

I'm standing quietly praying, and the photographer is aiming all the luminaries directly at the crowd and catching a hare.
As a result, there's no prayer.
The goal of deflecting attention to the curses is fulfilled.

Well...? So what?

Question 2: Who did Jesus call the worst names, beat with a stick, and drive out of the Temple?

Utro Vechera, does the diocesan commission of catechists have no arguments?

Or is profit more important than prayerful attention?

There would be nothing to argue about – the photo is just awful. And from this angle, the temple looks like a lopsided jumble of architectural details.

Illustrator Voroschilin S D, there are many places and events where flash work is strictly prohibited. People are immediately thrown out for such things.

Look at the list of companies located in Russia's main cathedral, from legal entities to a car wash, and there's no way to beat anyone with sticks or throw them out; they're guarded by a local private security company.

Vladimir Bayker, monks are the cream of the crop of all the special services.

I'll play the game with my puffs, some of them.

Professor Osipov says he's been fighting a tough battle with photographers his whole life.

What a plague these lumpins are.

Woe from them.

Vladimir Bayker, what should we do with the agents of the Senator's Department for Monasteries, who bend their fingers without argument, and their own at that?

So brazen, it's a disaster.

Those tattooed ones are wandering around the monastery, looking like they're barely even looking.

Damn...they're smoking bamboo with their puffs.

Illustrator Voroschilin S D,
The whole world is THEATRE. What kind of theatre is it without actors? How many actors have gone to the monastery and back? I remember Vasiliev, the most brilliant of the latter was Okhlobystin. He even managed to play a priest professionally, with his own parish, and now he's playing the Patriot with wild cries. GOYDA! A talented man.... Well, some make money on tourists, some on duty-free tobacco sales. The system works. Church vendors are not a means, but an END!

M Y X O M O P, it's not a temple, but 1/5 of a monastery. Thanks for your opinion!

Olga Novikova, there's a temple in the frame. And really, it doesn't matter what it is, the main thing is how it's filmed.
