PLEASE NOTE:
In order to stay at the monastery, you need to have a prior appointment.
A monastery is a center of spiritual life. It is a sample of humility, obedience, and love. As per the Venerable Saint Paisios the Athonite, “A monk is a lighthouse set high upon the rocks, which illuminates the seas and oceans with its light, and directs the ships to the right course to attain God.” Attracted by this light, people desire to touch the monastic life: to pray at a service; to venerate the relics, icons, or shrines; to live for some time at a monastery and to work for God’s sake.
Pilgrims from different parts of Russia and neighboring and far-abroad countries come to our monastery. We welcome everyone with joy and love.
