A rest day today and tomorrow before we head to Perm, so have have had a royal visit to the Temple of the Blood where the Czar and Family were brutally executed before being dumped in a forest.
Recently the house site was consecrated and the Temple built. Religion has blossomed since the demise of the soviet regime, so many are finding solace in their country's faith .
Their bodies were dropped into a shaft but floated and consequently suffered further indignities albeit in death and were severely scattered around the forest which was an old mining area.

A monastry occupies the site with 7 Chapels, one for each family member.
