Traveling Mercies Meaning

The term “traveling mercies” does not appear in the bible, but there are hundreds of examples of God showing mercy for others. Mercy is God’s compassion or concern for us even though it is within His power to punish or harm us.

A traveling mercies prayer is said for someone who is going on a trip or starting a big journey. In the 19th century, these prayers were commonly said for missionaires, preachers, and volunteers who were traveling on behalf of the church. During those times travel was dangerous and unpredictable.

Today, prayers for traveling mercies are said for anyone that is embarking on a journey, whether that be by plane, train, car, boat or even on foot.

While it is easier and faster to travel than it was in the 19th century, when this term became popular, there are still many dangers in foreign lands. We need God’s protection now more than ever and we ask for his mercy through prayer.

Now It's Your Turn

Prayers for Traveling Mercies: 15 Powerful

Traveling can be a scary reality for many of us because there’s always the possibility of meeting with an accident when we embark on a journey.

Whether you’re taking a road trip, a family vacation, or simply taking a trip to visit a loved one, there’s hardly a guarantee for safety.

So often, what is supposed to be a fun time with friends and family becomes a time to worry. The uncertainty of entrusting your life in the hands of a pilot, driver, or sailor can take its toll on most travelers.

But this does not have to be the case. We should not allow ourselves to be ruled by fear . We may not know the future, but we have a God who knows and sees the future.

So let’s not be afraid to embark on trips because we have not been received the spirit of fear.

Instead of being anxious about your next trip, it’s best to entrust your safety into the hands of the Lord.

Hence, I urge you to calm your fears on your next journey by engaging God with these prayers for traveling mercies.

28 Calming Bible Verses for Travel (safe travels)

August 21, 2023 by Mary 5 Comments

Before your next trip, save these 28 travel bible verses to grant you traveling mercies and keep you calm. These Scriptures are perfect to meditate on as you board, whether you’re traveling by plane, boat, train, bus, or car!

travel mercy scripture

An Adventure to Remember

Last month we embarked on a trip we’ve been planning since before we got married over 16 years ago: New Zealand ! Richard was born there and has family there, and we’ve been wanting to go for years. But it seemed like every time we tried to make the trek, something always prevented us from going, whether it was work, a new baby, health concerns, or moving.

But this year, despite going through one of our most challenging years (currently in upheaval with our home being damaged from toxic smoke from a landfill fire), we decided to go anyway. We decided, if we wait for a perfect time to travel, we’ll never go anywhere!

And honestly, it was the perfect time to go — our kids are at such a fun age (9 & 11) and old enough to always have this as a core memory. They got to meet their great-grandfather, aunties & uncles, and cousins they’ve never met before. Not to mention all the breathtaking scenery, new foods, and memorable experiences we all had. The boys even got to sit in the cockpit of our first plane as we boarded!

travel mercy scripture

Since we haven’t traveled in a while and this was the longest flight I’ve ever been on (14+ hours!) I needed some tools to help me stay calm. God’s Word is at the top of the list, of course. I thought maybe you could also use some inspiring bible verses to help you stay calm and trust God as you travel!

What the Bible says about traveling

In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, the Bible calls us to “pray without ceasing”. That means we should pray before our journeys, during the journey, and even thank God for arriving safely.

“And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.” Exodus 13:21 (NKJV)

We see that when the Israelites were on the journey from slavery in Egypt to the promised land Canaan, God was right there with them.   God’s presence and protection are important when we travel.

When we pray to God, He will light up our paths and show us what to do, and guide us on where to go. During the day, the Israelites had a pillar of cloud, and at night, a pillar of fire. This shows us that God knows exactly what we need on our journey.

Prayers for travel safety

We can’t rely on an airline, the pilot, or the driver to make sure we reach our destinations safely. Our faith should be in the Almighty God.

These prayers for traveling safely are based on words from the Bible. Praying scripture is an effective way of praying so God hears and answers us.

“The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes,” Deuteronomy 1:30
“The eyes of the Lord  are  in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

Our God is omnipresent. That means He is in all places at the same time. He already knows our destination when we travel. So, we pray asking Him to go before us and ensure where we’re headed is safe.

“ God, we thank you for the opportunity to travel. We know that you are the omnipresent God. Your eyes are in every place on earth. May You please go before us and keep us safe where we’re headed.

Knowing and believing You’re already where we’re going gives us peace and confidence that You will take care of us. Thank you for always watching over us and caring for us.

In Jesus’ name. Amen. “

“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.” Psalm 34:7
“For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’” Luke 4:10

In these encouraging Bible verses about protection, we learn that God’s angels will protect us. How amazing is that?

“Lord, you’ve promised us in Your Word that your angels guard, deliver and defend those who love and fear you. We thank you Father that you’ve sent your angels to rescue us and keep us safe.

As we travel, we ask that those angels would go with us on our journey and keep us from harm’s way. We have assurance and hope in your Word for it is living and active.

“Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble.”

Proverbs 3:23

“The name of the Lord  is  a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”

Proverbs 18:10

“Today Father, we run to Your name because we believe it’s a strong tower. When we call upon the name of Jesus Christ, we know power is released in our lives and situations.

We’re asking in Jesus’s name for us to travel safely. May our foot not stumble. We ask that we would rely and depend on You for all our needs on this journey because You’re Jehovah Jireh our Provider.

Hold us safely in the palm of Your hands Lord. Strengthen us as we’ll be out of our usual routine. Some trust in horses and chariots but our trust is in the Almighty God in Heaven, our Redeemer, Savior and  friend.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue  which  rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This  is  the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness  is  from Me,” Says the Lord.”

Isaiah 54:17

“Fear not, for I  am  with you; Be not dismayed, for I  am  your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10

A lot can happen when on the journey and that can make us scared. But God wants us to overcome fear and put our faith in Him. When traveling it’s good to pray for protection against the schemes and plans of the enemy.

“Lord, we know we have a real enemy who is out to steal our joy and peace, destroy our families and kill us. But we also serve the all-powerful Jehovah.

We pray that no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper, in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The devil has no power over me and us as a family. His evil plans to harm us will not succeed because we are protected by the Lord.

As we travel, we pray that we will enjoy the goodness of God in the land of the living for that is our heritage. We pray against any thoughts of fear on the journey. Fear of the unknown and fear of accidents or crashes are not going to have any room in our hearts and minds.

Rather we believe God will uphold us, strengthen us and help us on the way. We receive the amazing grace and peace of God to go with us on this journey.

Prayer for traveling mercies

Our God is merciful, gracious, and loving towards us as His children. When we travel, we should also remember to pray for travel mercies.

These Bible verses about mercy invite us to come to God’s throne in our times of need. God promises us that His goodness and mercy shall follow us always. This gives us confidence in our prayers.

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.” Psalm 23:6
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Ephesians 2:4

“Heavenly Father, we pray to you because You’re rich in mercy. Thank you for showing us such great love, kindness, and compassion.

 Guide us as we travel. We pray for your goodness and mercy to follow us on our journey. This is our time of need and we come to Your throne asking for travel mercies and grace.

“The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.” Psalm 121:7-8
“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.” Psalm 125:2

When we Lord grants us His grace, we will be preserved. He will surround us with His love. Let’s pray.

“Lord, we honor You and exalt Your Holy name. As You grant us travel mercies, we thank You that You will preserve our lives as we go out of our home and come back again.

You are our sanctuary that we run to at all times. Surround us as Your children from this time forth and forever. You are our refugee and strength. We put our faith in Your power.

Prayer for traveling on the road

When you’re traveling on the road, you need focus and patience. Other drivers can tend to frustrate you and spoil your mood. When the journey is long, you need strength to keep going and wisdom to rest when you need to.

If you’re traveling on the road with young kids, you need to learn how to be patient because kids can’t stand being in the same space for long.  Let’s pray.

“God, we thank You for this journey on the road. We pray for Your grace to go with us.  Bless our driver Lord. Give the driver focus for the road ahead, wisdom, discernment, and strength to drive.

There are other drivers on the road who can frustrate us or slow us down. Lord, we ask for patience from You to be gentle in our responses and be loving as ambassadors of Christ.

We pray for our kids on the journey. Help us as their parents to be creative so that the journey on the road is not too long and boring for them. May we be able to plan for food and activities to keep them busy and engaged.

We’re trusting you O God that we will reach our destination safely.

Whether you’re traveling for summer, the holidays, to visit loved ones or for business, you need God to guide and guard you and your family. I hope these prayers for travel provided you with a good start to help you depend on God for your journey.

Prayer For Traveling Mercies: Seeking God’s Guidance and Protection

' src=

In the Christian walk, prayer is not just a practice, but a profound expression of our dependence on God. It’s our direct line to the divine, a way to cast our fears, express our gratitude, and seek guidance. This becomes even more vital during travel – a time filled with unknowns and uncertainties. Seeking traveling mercies through prayer is not just about asking for a safe journey , but it’s also an acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty over every step we take.

To illustrate the importance of prayer for traveling mercies, let’s consider the story of Paul’s journey to Rome in the book of Acts. Despite being a prisoner, Paul’s journey was fraught with peril, including a shipwreck on the island of Malta. Throughout these trials, Paul’s faith and commitment to prayer were unwavering. He trusted in God’s plan and protection over his travels, an attitude that not only ensured his physical safety but also allowed him to minister and witness to others along the way. This biblical account reminds us that when we embark on any journey, prayer should be our first step. By entrusting our travels to God, we seek not just physical safety, but also spiritual guidance and opportunities to serve Him, wherever we may go.

As we reflect on this, it becomes clear that prayer for traveling mercies is a vital aspect of our faith, especially in a world where the journey is as important as the destination.

The Biblical Basis for Travel Prayers

When we look to the Bible for guidance on the subject of travel, we find a wealth of scriptures that not only encourage but also affirm the practice of praying for journey mercies. These passages offer comfort and assurance of God’s protective presence during our travels.

One of the most poignant scriptures is Psalm 121, often referred to as the Traveler’s Psalm. The psalmist begins with a declaration of looking up to the hills, wondering where help will come from. The comforting response is, “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” This Psalm beautifully encapsulates the essence of travel prayers – acknowledging our need for divine help and protection. It assures us that the Lord watches over our coming and going both now and forevermore, a promise that brings profound peace to the traveler’s heart.

Another significant example is found in Exodus 13:21-22. Here, the Lord’s presence is made manifest as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, guiding the Israelites through their desert journey. This vivid imagery symbolizes God’s constant guidance and presence, an assurance that He is with us in every step of our journey, leading and protecting us.

These scriptures, and many others, serve as a foundation for the Christian tradition of praying for traveling mercies. They remind us that when we embark on a journey, whether it be physical or spiritual, we are not alone. God’s presence is a constant escort, and His protection is a shield around us. In moments of uncertainty or fear, these passages offer a profound comfort, reminding travelers that their safety lies in the Almighty’s hands.

By weaving these scriptures into our travel prayers, we are not merely uttering words; we are standing on the promises of God, taking hold of His assurance, and placing our journeys under His sovereign care.

Crafting a Personal Prayer For Traveling Mercies

Creating a personal travel prayer is a beautiful way to invite God into your journey, seeking His protection, guidance, and peace. Here are some tips to help you craft a travel prayer that resonates with your heart and journey:

  • Start with Reflection: Consider the purpose and destinations of your travel. Reflect on any anxieties, hopes, or specific needs you have regarding this journey.
  • Use Scripture: Incorporate scriptures that speak to you about travel, protection, or guidance. Verses like Psalm 121 or Proverbs 3:5-6 can be powerful anchors for your prayer.
  • Be Specific: Personalize your prayer by mentioning specific aspects of your trip – places you’ll visit, people you’ll meet, or activities you’ll undertake.
  • Express Your Feelings: Be open about your emotions – whether it’s excitement, nervousness, or gratitude. Honesty in prayer strengthens your connection with God.
  • Seek Protection and Guidance: Explicitly ask for God’s protection from harm and guidance for wise decisions throughout your trip.
  • Pray for Others: Include prayers for fellow travelers, loved ones you leave behind, or people you will meet on your journey.
  • Trust in God’s Plan: Acknowledge your trust in God’s plan, even when it’s different from your own. Express willingness to be open to the experiences He has in store for you.
  • Conclude with Thanksgiving: End your prayer with a note of gratitude for God’s everlasting presence and the opportunity to travel.

The Importance of Sincerity and Trust in God’s Plan in Prayers

When praying, especially for traveling mercies, sincerity and trust are key. Sincerity in prayer means coming to God with an open and honest heart. It’s about being true to your feelings, fears, and desires, and presenting them to God just as they are. Trust, on the other hand, involves believing that God hears your prayers and will act in your best interest, even if His ways are not immediately clear or aligned with your expectations. This trust acknowledges that God’s plan is superior to ours and that He is always with us, guiding and protecting us on our journey.

Grant me O Lord a steady hand and watchful eye. That no one shall be hurt as I pass by. Thou gavest life, I pray no act of mine may take away or mar that gift of Thine.

St. Christopher, holy patron of travellers, protect me and lead me safely to my destiny. Amen

Top 12 Bible Verses For Safe Travel

Being able to travel is a blessing, but it can also heighten anxiety and stress. Sometimes traveling might seem scary because of the unknowns, but God knows all, and He will protect you, keep you safe. and watch over you on your journey.

If you or someone you know is preparing to go on a vacation or mission trip, pray to God for guidance and protection.

Studying the following top 12 Bible verses for safe travel is a great way to provide comfort and peace of mind before traveling.

Top 12 Bible Verses for Safe Travels

Enjoy 5 Short Stories from Scripture about Safe Travel

Shadows of death – psalm 23.

When you travel, keep Psalm 23 in mind because God promises that “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). One thing about shadows of death…they are not the reality. I’d rather get hit by the shadow of a semi than the semi itself.  The point being, we have no need to fear shadows of death.

His Plans, Not Ours – Proverbs 16

When we travel, things may not always go as planned, but we know that “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps” (Proverbs 16:9), meaning that God will establish our steps, walk, or travels, even though we had plans that differed in the beginning.

A Lighted Path – Psalm 119

Cars and trucks have headlights for very good reason, but we also know that God’s “word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105), so whether it’s off to grandmother’s house, a Christmas vacation, or a trip to the store, God’s Word illuminates our path along the way, and we need that in a world full of darkness.

Always With You – Matthew 28

Scripture teaches us that the Lord never forsakes us or leaves us, even when we forsake Him.  His promise to the disciples is the same promise for us, “behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20b), and that means He will be with us all the way into the kingdom.

A Wide Path – Psalm 18

The psalmist knew he could trust God, even in the hard places of life, so he wrote, “You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip” (Psalm 18:36).  Even though we might slip and fall, He is there to pick us up again, and place us on good footing, providing a wide path for our journeys in life.

Savannah Guthrie on the “Bonus Commandment” and Two-Part Salvation

Savannah Guthrie

What is a favorite Bible passage of yours and why?

Choosing your favorite verse is like choosing your favorite child – it’s kind of impossible! A verse I recite to myself often is, “ I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because of this, I will call on him all the days of my life .”

I also like, “ Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his mercies never fail. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. ”

I just noticed those two verses have a lot in common: mercy! I guess I always feel in need of God’s grace, and grateful to hear that it is unfailingly present.

In Chapter 3, you talk about hearing Mark 12:28-31 on your drive to work one morning, and you say, “a thought occurred, the kind of revelation that feels otherworldly and buzzes with electricity. In a way, a bonus commandment was hidden within the two that Jesus mentioned. Love the Lord God. Love your neighbor. And love yourself.” 

Have you found practical ways to put the “bonus commandment” into practice?

To be honest, it doesn’t come naturally to me. I still have that part of my upbringing that was drilled into me, “don’t think too highly of yourself” or “don’t get too big for your britches.” I am not one to sit around loving myself!

But I do believe, deeply and viscerally, that God loves me… and his loving me makes me more lovable to me. It helps me accept myself. I remember: if he can accept me, then so can I. So should I, in fact.  It is not a spiritual virtue to self-berate and self-condemn; in fact, when we do that we are substituting our own judgment for God’s. He is the judge of our souls, and because of the sacrifice of his Son, his judgment is love.

So really, this is how I can connect to this idea of loving myself. It isn’t about sitting in front of a mirror whispering sweet nothings to myself, giving myself a pep talk with motivational quotes. For me, self-love is about abandoning self-hate. Loving myself because God does.

Throughout the book, you talk about the practice of and practicing Lectio Divina .

  • Do you have tips for people who would like to begin this practice?
  • How do you stick with it when you are busy ?

This is something I only recently discovered when I signed up for an app called Hallow. It has a daily Lectio Divina that you can listen to – which I think is a great entry point for beginners like me. The narrator reads the verse three times to you, and you sit in silence in between each reading. You can choose how long you want the meditation to be, five minutes or up to thirty minutes!

I have an easily distracted, meandering mind. I’m not good at sitting still, but when I can do the Lectio practice, I have almost always encountered some wisdom from the passage just by sitting with it. I find it to be especially helpful with scriptures that are perplexing or off-putting. When you sit with them for a spell, in the presence of God, it is amazing how the thoughts that can come to the fore are often quite revealing and profound.

My advice is just to try it, even if it seems weird or your mind devolves into thinking about your grocery list or all the stuff you have to do. Just keep at it. Don’t give up. And whatever comes up in your mind as you sit there, no matter how odd it seems, consider whether it is something God is saying to you. I’ve been surprised and delighted many, many times during this practice at how a strange thought that pops into my head about the passage can lead to real revelation.

travel mercy scripture

We ran across what may be extremely practical advice about prayer in Chapter 10 of Mostly What God Does . I’m paraphrasing, but you said that when your feelings “betray you,” you pray “with your imagination.”

  • Can you describe that?
  • You tie this back to Ephesians 3:20-21 , where it says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” – how did you discover or connect with that verse?

Full credit where it’s due: I got this idea from Shauna Niequist, an amazing writer and now a friend who attends the same church as I do in Manhattan. Her book is called, I Guess I Just Haven’t Learned That Yet . She talks about those moments that we all experience when we are having difficulty with someone close to us, or when we are facing a problem that seems so intractable we cannot find the words to utter in prayer.

Or sometimes, I’ve found that when I am upset about something, I may find my motives to be so mixed that I’m not sure the intent of my prayers are trustworthy and I don’t even know what to pray for. I write a lot about this in the book. (Spoiler alert: I think God wants us to just bring out our whole authentic selves to him – mess and all. That’s prayer.)

Anyway, Shauna talks about praying with your imagination when words or emotions fail you. It can be as simple as imagining the person you love in a place of wholeness, of flourishing, of joy. It is a way of bringing that person to God and bringing the best of your motivations to the forefront, and letting God handle the rest. And I think Ephesians 3:20 is a wonderful corollary when thinking about our imaginations in this way, for God is “able to do immeasurably more that all we ask or imagine.” It’s almost like God had this idea first…!

You write about being tasked with memorizing Psalm 23 as a young girl.  

  • How has your understanding of that verse changed over time? 
  • When do you turn to Psalm 23  now? 
  • You say that God’s words are “meant to be ingested and absorbed into our bloodstream.” If someone isn’t sure where to start absorbing the Bible, is Psalm 23 the passage you would recommend for them to begin?

When I first encountered Psalm 23 , I was a little girl. My older cousin gave me the challenge of memorizing it – the old King James Version to boot! I can assure you I didn’t understand one word. I certainly didn’t get why it was such a famous passage. But I dutifully memorized it, and it stayed with me. Over the years, I have found the words to be peaceful, pastoral and comforting – in my book, I write about literally visualizing the scenes in times of worry and stress. Psalm 23 is a tranquil space for an anxious mind to sit a spell. 

I’ve also come to understand it to be an astoundingly compact and efficient description of our journey of life with God. God is our caretaker, our shepherd, always with us. He provides for our needs: for rest, for sustenance. The psalm also speaks of walking through “the valley of the shadow of death” – a straightforward recognition that life is not all peaceful pastures by trickling streams. We go through dark places. But we won’t be alone. Our path is purposeful, and our destination is assured.

I truly believe Scripture holds divine possibility, especially when mulled and meditated over. To be honest, I wouldn’t necessarily suggest Psalm 23 as an entry point – it can seem a bit abstract and impenetrable at first (it did to me, at least). On the other hand, sometimes it is those verses that seem most opaque and perplexing initially that hold the most treasures once we commit to going deeper.

You quoted Isaiah 30:15 , “In repentance and rest is your salvation.” You talk about how you discovered salvation has two parts. Can you expand on that?

I think we often emphasize the repentance part – and that is appropriate, of course. Recognizing where we have fallen short of love and our need for God’s grace is fundamental. But I think God also calls us to rest in our salvation – not to continually berate ourselves or repeatedly return to our failings.

Resting in our salvation, to me, means absorbing the goodness of God’s mercy and the completeness of our forgiveness, accepting that he sees not the old, flawed us but the new, beautiful creature we are in him. To do that, if we can, is transformative. It has the potential to change how we relate to ourselves and how we move through the world.

You turn to Scripture a lot in your book. What is the most eye-opening moment you experienced from reading the Bible while you were writing?

The biggest revelation came when I was writing an essay about the blessings of faith. “Bless” is one of those words that’s all over our culture (“too blessed to be stressed!” “have a blessed day!” “bless this mess!”), but I came to have a deeper understanding of what the word means in the context of our faith.

I knew the concept of being blessed couldn’t possibly refer to material things, or even necessarily being shown favor by God when we are the recipients of good fortune (although that certainly does happen!). If blessings simply meant “good stuff that happens to you,” how do we explain the beatitudes? (Blessed are the poor in spirit… blessed are the meek, blessed are the persecuted, etc…).

I came to understand that to be blessed in the spiritual sense is simply to receive more of God. So when I pray for a blessing – “God, please bless this travel I must take,” or “bless this difficult task before me” – I’m essentially asking for more of God’s supernatural presence and wisdom, not any particular outcome.

To be blessed is not to have all problems solved, it is to have more divine intervention and presence in a situation. When understood that way, the scriptures about blessings make much more sense to me.

“Loving strangers is hard.” That one sentence pulled from the middle of Chapter 28 rings with truth. Can you explain how God’s love transformed you to see the joy in helping others?

It is a lifelong pursuit to love and care for other humans. None of us are all that good at it. It isn’t necessarily our natural state of being. But when we truly contemplate how God loves us, and let that knowledge really penetrate us, our hearts are inevitably softened, and our horizons broadened; we see that all the love, grace, adoration and delight God has for us extends equally to every single human we encounter.

Every. Single. One.

Again, this is not a rapturous state I walk around in all the time. I live in the real world! But I try to remind myself: we are all God’s children. And if we are all his children, then every human is my brother or sister. We are siblings.

Mostly What God Does  has such a loving and encouraging message. It shows have spent a lot of time reading the Bible, in various versions, to communicate that message. What do you want people to get most out of reading your book?

I hope they receive it as a gentle call to be loved by God – and then, filled with that love, to go out and share it. I think that is the essence of our mission as followers of Jesus.

Often, people of faith recognize the service part. They are aware of our obligation to give and serve others.

But the book reminds us not to miss the first, integral step: fully absorbing and appreciating the love that God has for us. That is what imbues us with a generous spirit, where those acts of love and service are done not out of obligation, but out of an overflowing abundance of love that simply cannot be contained within. 

travel mercy scripture

Mostly what God does is love you.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

travel mercy scripture

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

travel mercy scripture

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

travel mercy scripture

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

travel mercy scripture

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

travel mercy scripture

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

travel mercy scripture

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

travel mercy scripture

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
