DESCRIPTION

Reputed as having been one of the finest of Russia’s holy places, this monastery was built by Patriarch Nikon in the 17^th century, and modeled on the plan of the Iveron Monastery on Mt. Athos, from which their greatest treasure came, a copy of their famous wonder-working Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. Newly re-opened, you will see the Russian monastery’s history; its reconstruction; pilgrims and the cross-procession on the Iveron Icon feast day; a youth and children’s choir singing Divine Services—reflecting the educational work done with children; and daily life of the monastery, with its farm work and Divine Services. Although located in a beautiful rural setting on Lake Valdai, it is near enough the main highway between Moscow and St. Petersburg, south of Novgorod, to be readily accessible for visitors.
