I-New Athos Monastery: indawo ephawulekayo kwi-Abkhazia

I-Orthodox entsha ye-Athos yeendwendwe (ngeendlela, elinye igama lilifana ne-monastery kaSimon-Kananitsky) inembali encinane. Ngo-Agasti, ngo-1875, iidonki ze-monasteri, ebizwa ngokuba nguSt. I-Panteleimon kwaye ifumaneka kwiNtaba yaseAthos (iGrisi) yavakashela i-Abkhazia ukuze ifumane indawo enhle yokwakhiwa kweendwendwe ezintsha zeendwendwe. Kunyaka odlulileyo, babuyele kwiNkosana Mikhail Romanovich, igosa laseCaucasus, ngesicelo sokubanika umhlaba wokwakhiwa kweendwendwe ezintsha zeentlanethi. Isivumelwano esiphezulu sanikezwa, kwaye emva kweminyaka embalwa emva koko, ngo-1876, kwiNxweme yoLwandle oluMnyama olusalayo, inxalenye yesigxina se-monasteri yayakhiwa.

Emva kweminyaka eyisibhozo, iidonki zaqala ukumisa iindwendwe eziqingqiweyo entabeni. Kwakudingeka basebenze kanzima - ukwenzela ukuba basuse indawo phantsi kweNewasto entsha yase-Athos, bekufuneka ukuba kuqala ukucima inxalenye yeAthos kwaye, ngokufanelekileyo, ukuthabatha amaninzi amatani omhlaba kunye namatye. Ukongezelela, umsebenzi wawunzima kakhulu kukuba indawo ekhethiweyo yendlu yeendwendwe yayikuphakame kakhulu kwaye yayingenazo iindlela zokufikelela.

Nangona kunjalo, ngoncedo lukaThixo, lo mqulu omkhulu wecandelo elisebenza ngokukhawuleza lagqitywa kwiminyaka eyi-12, ngokokuba ngo-1896 i-monastery yayilungele. Ngoku abazalwana banqwenela ukuqhubeka, ngokuqinisekileyo, ekungcwalisweni kwezinto kunye nokufudukela kwindawo entsha yokuhlala.

Ngendlela, i-New Athos Monastery, i-Abkhazia ekwakhiweni kwayo eyanikelwa ngexesha elifanelekileyo ngokulungileyo, yakhiwe kufuphi nethempeli lakwaSimon umKanan, omnye wabapostile abalishumi elinesibini ababengcwele bakaYesu. Apha, iimpendulo zokuphumla kwesanta. Ekufuphi kukho enye indawo ephawulekayo, okuthi, umqolomba apho, ngokwemfundiso yenkolo, uKanan wa thandaza ngasese. Ngo-1884 le ndawo yazingcwaliswa ngamanzi angcwele kwaye yafakwa kuyo uphawu lweSt. Simon noAndrew (omnye umpostile). Kwaye i-monastery ngokwayo inokuziqhayisa ngobukho kwiindonga zayo ezinjalo njenge-cross-cross, equlethe i-particle yomthi ophilisa ubomi kwi-Cross Cross.

Elinye i-New Athos leendwendwe libuye lidumiwe ngenxa yokuba ekwakhiweni kwayo ngo-1888, uMlawuli uAlexander III ngokwakhe wenza inxaxheba . Kwakhona wabonisa ii-monasteries kunye nee-chimes zomculo ezinokubonwa kwinqaba ephakamileyo yesakhiwo, kunye nesitishi samandla kunye nendawo yokuhlala.

Ngaphantsi kweendwendwe zentendelezo yeendlunkulu yinkxalabo yangaphambili - iindonga zayo zenziwe ngeefrescoes ezilungileyo ngabazalwana baseOlovyannikov, ezaziwa ngaloo mihla ngabaphathi be-Volga.

Izakhiwo zeendwendwe zenza i-quadrangle, ephakathi kwendawo yePeteleimon Cathedral kwindlela entsha yaseByzantine, isithsaba sekhaya. Isakhiwo sakhiwe ukususela ngo-1888 ukuya ku-1900.

Imidwebo yeeNdonga ezihlobisa i-cathedral evela ngaphakathi zapendelwa yi-Palekh masters (iphondo laseVladimir) kunye neqela labaculi baseMoscow. Lo mdwebo uyamangalisa kuba yenye yeempawu ezigqithisileyo zesikhokelo se-icon yeCawa yaseRashiya. Ngendlela, i-Panteleimonovsky Cathedral iyona isakhiwo esikhulu senkolo kwintsimi ye-Abkhazia - ngexesha elifanayo likwazi ukuhlala ngabantu abangaba-3 000. Ukongeza kwi-kedare, i-monastery ye-New Athos inezinye iitempile ezihlanu.

Umlindi wafumana ukukhula kwakhe kude kube ngo-1924, xa urhulumente wengqununu wagqiba ukuwuvala ngenxa yokuba "ingxabano yokuphikisana." Ukususela ngelo xesha iindawo eziyinkimbinkimbi sele zisetyenziselwa injongo enonophelo kakhulu - iindawo zokugcina iimpahla, isiseko sezokhenketho, isibhedlele, kunye nembali yolondolozo lwembali yasendaweni ebekwe apha apha. Kwaye kuphela ngo-1994 kwaqala ukuvuselelwa kwendawo yokuhlala enhle.

Kuza kube namhlanje, i-New Athos Monastery ibe yindawo ekholisayo yokomoya yeCaucasus yonke. Amawaka eentwendwele kunye nabakhenkethi beza apha ngonyaka. Kuze kube ngoku, unokubona umkhondo wendawo yangaphambili ye-monastery - ngokujikeleza kwayo isasaza izitiya zezityalo, ukuzisa isivuno esivumileyo nezidiliya, ezityalwe ngabazalwana ixesha elidlulileyo.
