We were in Pinsk on March 28, and I couldn't get past the literally "golden" and shining cathedral of the monastery.
Quiet, calm, dim lights. Repairs are underway inside. A tall and beautiful iconostasis.
It has been mentioned in chronicles since the 16th century. The daughters of noblemen studied here, but then the convent was occupied by Basilian nuns. Only after 150 years, Orthodoxy returned here again. The oldest Orthodox Cathedral in Pinsk.
The most ancient and little-studied image above the entrance is the large icon of the Mother of God of Jerusalem. The best example of the Belarusian icon painting art of that time.

It's terrible, I wanted to pray there with a friend before the exam, being an atheist, but it turned out to be closed, lawlessness!!!

They wanted to baptize the children. We arrived at the appointed time, when we called and signed up, we did not really explain who and where to approach for a conversation with godparents. We arrived in advance, while the priest was met and he did not explain to us where and to whom to go, we stood like a pillar. As a result, in the church shop, the woman also scolded us like little children that we were late, and began to ask a bunch of incomprehensible and off-topic questions. A very unpleasant woman. After the conversation, they came out in a terrible mood. We immediately changed our mind and baptized the children in another place.

The monastery has been known since 1521, but nothing has been preserved since then. All the buildings were built from scratch in the 19th century. But the only Orthodox monastery in Pinsk today.
