Pereslavl Zalessky was established in 1152. Aleksander Nevsky (1220-1263), Russian saint and national hero, was born here. In the beginning of the 14th century, after the fall of Mongol/Tartar rule, Pereslavl was the first city to return to Russian rule. In the 17th century, Polish and Lithuanian invaders took over the city until the Russian army could free it. Pray that God would free this city from bondage to religious tradition and the invasion of the world with its influences.Sergiev Posad began as Sergei Radonezhski's, the greatest spiritual leader and monastic reformer of medieval Russia, settlement. In 1345 he was performing miracles and healings. Many people flocked to join his order. In 1380, the Moscow prince came to him for blessings
for the victory in battle with the Mongol/Tartars. Even czar Ivan the Terrible and his son had a church built here that resembles one in the Moscow Kremlin. Today Sergiev Posad is one of the most “religious” centers in Russia with many very high and important monasteries. Pray for Jesus to be the One and Only Who would receive the honor and glory for salvation and healing. Pray for God's Name to be Hallowed in this place.
