Fresco
Fresco (plural ''frescos'' or ''frescoes'') is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' ( it, affresco) is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in appar ...

Metropolitan German
Archbishop Herman, born Grigory Sadyrev-Polev in Staritsa, was an archbishop of Kazan from 1564 to 1567, and later a candidate for the Metropolitan of Moscow. He died on November 6 1567 in Moscow and was buried in the Church of Saint Nicholas the Hospitable. He was the twelfth Metropolitan in Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm.

Upon organizing his congregation in Kazan, St. Guriy called for Herman and appointed him head of Bogoroditsky Monastery in Sviyazhsk. The Russian Orthodox Church attached great importance to this monastery in terms of spreading Christianity among the non-Russians in the Kazan region. Upon Guriy's death in 1564, Herman was elected his successor. At the insistence of Ivan the Terrible and against ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chudov Monastery
The Chudov Monastery (russian: Чу́дов монасты́рь; more formally known as Alexius’ Archangel Michael Monastery) was founded in the Moscow Kremlin in 1358 by Metropolitan Alexius of Moscow.

The construction of the monastery together with its ''katholikon'' (cathedral) was finished in 1365. The katholikon was replaced with a new one in 1431 and then once again in 1501–1503. It was traditionally used for baptising the royal children, including future Tsars Feodor I, Aleksey I and Peter the Great.

Book Of Royal Degrees
''The Book of Degrees of the Royal Genealogy'' (Степенная книга) was the first official work of historiography produced in the nascent Tsardom of Russia. It was commissioned by Macarius, Metropolitan of Moscow from Ivan the Terrible's personal confessor, Andrew, in 1560. This vast work of codification recast historical data compiled from medieval Russian chronicles so as to suit Ivan's tastes and ambitions in the wake of his coronation as the first Russian Czar.http://www.drevnyaya.ru/vyp/stat/s4_22_4.pdf The book gave shape to the idea of Moscow being the "Third Rome" by tracing Ivan's patrilineal descent not only from Rurik but from the first Roman emperor, Augustus. This fantasy genealogy was borrowed from the earlier '' Tale of the Princes of Vladimir''. The compilation is subdivided into 17 parts, or degrees (hence the title). Each degree corresponds to a generation of Ivan's royal ancestors. According to Arthur Voice, the book "glorifies to the utmost the his ...

Ecclesia Militans
In some strains of Christian theology, the Christian Church may be divided into: *the Church Militant (), also called the Church Pilgrim which consists of Christians on earth who struggle as soldiers of Christ against sin, the devil, and "the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places"; *the Church Penitent (), also called the Church Suffering () or the Church Expectant (), which in the theology of certain churches, especially that of the Catholic Church, consists of those Christians currently in Purgatory; and *the Church Triumphant (), which consists of those who have the beatific vision and are in Heaven. Within Catholic ecclesiology these divisions are known as the "three states of the Church." The actual language used in the ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' states that “''The'' ''three states of the Church…'' at the present time some of his disciples are pilgrims on earth.
