DESCRIPTION
Reputed as having been one of the finest of Russias holy
places, this monastery was built by Patriarch Nikon in the 17th 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 monasterys history; its reconstruction;
pilgrims and the cross-procession on the Iveron Icon feast day; a youth and
childrens choir singing Divine Servicesreflecting 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.
