The place is just wonderful!!! The monastery is located in a very picturesque place in Vitebsk, on the banks of the Dvina River. It's like an island of peace of mind in the city center. Very beautiful flowers are blooming in the courtyard of the monastery!) There are also two temples on the territory of the monastery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit and the temple of Princess Olga. Orthodox small churches where you feel so cozy and warm))
And also, at the entrance to the monastery territory, there is a monastery shop, the largest shop in the city. Here you can buy herbal preparations and herbs grown with prayer and love. Various: tinctures, balms, creams, shampoos and much more from the Orthodox pharmacy... There is also a huge selection of Orthodox books, utensils, shawls and scarves ..., in short: everything an Orthodox person may need, regardless of age ...
I strongly recommend visiting temples and a monastery shop!))
A small monastery in the very center of Vitebsk. Slowly developing, there is peace and unity inside! If you have a minute when visiting the city, it's better to take a look))
It is located in the very center of the city. There are two temples on the territory of the monastery: the temple of St. Princess Olga and the Holy Spirit Temple. The monastery shop is the best and with the best choice in the city. A wide selection of balms, herbs, settings, fees. A selection of icons in different price categories. A wide selection of natural monastery cosmetics: creams, shampoos, masks, handmade soaps, natural deodorants. There is a very large selection of literature. The shop is open every day seven days a week. Temples can be visited not only during the service, but also at any convenient time before the closure of the monastery.
in the 80s and 90s, there was devastation at this place, as well as at the site of the Assumption Cathedral. the authorities did not deal with the city in any way then, but this is the center. when the Orthodox Church came, it brought everything to a divine state, washed, cleaned, ennobled, restored, now you can walk normally in the city center and not be afraid of drunks and drug addicts in this place
The Vitebsk Women's Theological College is located at the monastery, an educational institution where such specialists as a chorister-regent, icon painter, florist-beautifier are trained.
A small monastery in the heart of Vitebsk. Well-maintained territory. But that's not the main thing... You enter the temple, you see the kind faces of the nuns, the holy images look at you. And I want to thank the Lord for everything that has not been sent to you. Be sure to come to this monastery. Set aside time for a leisurely visit. May the Lord keep you safe.
In the courtyard of the monastery there is a small temple and a church bench, as well as benches where you can just relax. I couldn't see anything else
