It is situated in Kostroma and is known as the location of the ancient Feodorovskaya Icon of Theotokos God s Mother . The male Bogoyavlensky Monastery was founded in the 15th century by Nikita, a disciple and a relative of St Sergius of Radonezh . The five domed katholikon of traditional Byzantine design was constructed under Ivan the Terrible , starting in 1559. The Tsar accused the father superior and some of the brethren of supporting his rival Vladimir of Staritsa and had them executed in 1570. The monastery was besieged and taken by Aleksander J zef Lisowski during the Time of Troubles . The attack claimed the lives of 11 monks. A monastic house dates from the 17th century. The other buildings arose from the monastery s reconstruction in the Russian Revival style in the late 19th century. After the Revolution the monastery was abolished and was not revived as a nunnery until the 1990s. The remains of the wall paintings in the katholikon were destroyed in a recent fire.

Religious text primary date December 2010 Baqaa , with literal meaning of permanency, is a term in Sufi philosophy which describes a particular state of life with God, through God, in God, and for God. It is the summit of the mystical Manzil manazil , that is, the destination or the abode. Baqaa comprises three degrees, each one referring to a particular aspect of the divine Theophany theophanies as principle of existence and its qualitative evolution, consisting of faith, knowledge, and grace. Aspects First aspect the level of acts The first aspect of the Sufi permanency is situated at the level of acts. The action of the Sufi is here united with the divine action acquiring its order, harmony and durability. This specific degree of Sufi baq is the result of the shooting forth of the divine theophany as existential principle and the lights of nature as source of knowledge. Second aspect the level of qualities and attributes The second aspect of permanency is situated at the level of qualities and attributes. Here human virtues are raised to the level of the divine Attributes, acquiring their perfection, dignity and durability such that the man s heart attains to a spiritual abode where it is the pure and clear mirror on which the characteristics of the supreme Creator are engraved. In its turn, the power of acts in the abode of permanence becomes a docile instrument by which the divine plans in the world and within the living person are realized. This particular form of baq is a reflection of the divine existential theophanies at the level of the Attributes and Qualities, and the effect of the lights of the intellect as principle of knowledge. Third aspect the level of the essence The last degree of baq is permanency of the essence. In this domain the essence of the servant is raised to the height of the divine Essence in its Unity, Sublimity and Universality. He is totally absorbed by the divine Life. It is through God that he sees, through Him that he hears, th ... more details

File 2005 08 11 Kiev Pechersk Lavra 170.JPG 300px thumb The Nativity Church at the Distant Caves 1696 is run by students The Kievan Theological Academy is the oldest college of the Russian Orthodox Church . It is situated in Kiev and traces its history back to 1615, when Yelisey Pletenetsky founded a brotherhood school at the Brotherhood Monastery Theophany Monastery . Several decades later, Peter Mohyla merged it with a newly established Kiev Pechersk Lavra lavra school into the Mohyla Collegium Latin Collegium Kijovense Mohileanum . The Collegium alumni included Innokentiy Gizel , Lazar Baranovych , Dmitry Tuptalo , Stephen Yavorsky , Feofan Prokopovich and many other state activists and Orthodox clerics who helped reform the Russian Orthodox Church under the auspices of Patriarch Nikon and Peter the Great . In 1658 under the terms of the Treaty of Hadiach the Collegium obtained the status of an Academy, similar to Jagiellonian University Cracow Academy . This was recognized in 1694 by the Russian tsar Ivan V of Russia Ivan V , then reaffirmed by Peter I of Russia Peter I in 1701. After the Kiev Mohyla Academy was closed in 1817 by the decree of Alexander I of Russia , in 1819 Kiev Theological Academy , was reopened, as a clerical institution. In contrast to its predecessor, the Kiev Mohyla Academy, admissions for the Kiev Theological Academy became open only to children of the existing clergy.

The academy was revived in 1992 and is based on the grounds of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra .
