Do we know when they were painted?

I visited the Mirosha Monastery during the early years of restoration of the frescoes of its cathedral of the Transfiguration. Because of the scaffolding very little of the frescoes could be seen. I am delighted to view them here. My visit to the Monastery and Father Zenon remain the highlights of my Russian Pilgrimage. I am delighted to see the photos of the frescoes.
