A site on the outskirts of Moscow was chosen to erect New Jerusalem for its resemblance to the Holy Land. The River Istra represents the River Jordan, and the buildings represent the ’sacral space’ or holy places of Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem Monastery, also known as the Voskresensky Monastery (Russian: Новоиерусалимский монастырь / नोवोयेरुसालीम्सकी मोनासत्री), is a male monastery, located in the town of Istra in Moscow Oblast, Russia.

Everything right there on your face!Tensions, well, there are Israeli soldiers present everywhere and religious Jews hurrying through the Muslim Quarter. The divisions between the quarters are stark and noticeable. The place does look very tense and I have heard that flareups do happen. But nothing big has happened in last few years and the situation overall is very peaceful.In any case, people love tourists. If you are Indian, you are treated even better :P Mavin:
