Description:
The Holy Cross was erected on the top of White Hill 114 years ago.
The White Mountain was named so, because it is the only place around where the first snow keeps unthawed. The history of Belogorsky Monastery before and after the Revolution of 1917 is cloaked in a kind of secret mysticism. It includes tales of healing with the help of icons, ‘angel chorus singing’ in the Monastery building ruined by the Bolsheviks. There are also numerous testimonies about obtained monks’ treasures.
