Water Blessing Chapel at the Holy Assumption Women's Monastery in Alexandrov

Фото 1
The overwell water-filling tent of the 18th century is designed in the form of a chapel. This low and wide octagonal structure has no windows and is covered by a broad octagonal roof topped with a small dome. Above the entrance, there is a place for an icon. Inside the tent, there was a large vat with a pipe leading to it and a stove. The well was used for the most ordinary needs of the monastery, where regular water, not holy, was taken for everyday use.
