Question

4. What do the seven chapels built at a new monastery near the burial site represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The seven chapels represented each member of the Romanov royal family, who was brutally murdered.

Explanation:

The family of Csai Nicolau Romanov was brutally murdered by the Bolsheviks, ending the Romanov dynasty and their dominance in the leadership of Russia. The way the family was murdered did not please the Russians, who saw this moment as something objectionable and unworthy. Thus, the murdered Romanovs were seen by the Russian Orthodox Church as martyrs and for that reason, a construction of a memorial chapel in honor of the family was started.

In 2001, seven chapels were built in honor of each murdered family member, in addition to the monastery called the Monastery of the Holy Carriers of the Czar's Passion. Each chapel marks the burial place of each of them, even though two members of the family only had their remains found afterwards.
