Russian Orthodox Monastery of Sergiev Posad

Some sights at the Monastery and the sounds of the bells as they toll each day. It shows normal, everyday people enjoying a religious experience in a place where it was prohibited for 70 years under Communist rule.

The film closes with the Tsarist National Anthem, sung by a Russian choir. The music is familiar to some in American churches as "God the Omnipotent." The intensity of the little girl as she lights the candle is irresistable and touches the heart.
