A fertile place where you can have a great time, for body and soul. A monastery that shares everything it has with anyone. You can attend divine services, submit notes for a year, or half a year, for 40 days, prayer services, memorial services, a large selection of candles, various products, natural medicines, you can eat in the refectory.
There are guided tours, or you can spend time in solitude, the territory of the monastery is very beautiful and well maintained. Nearby there are holy springs with baptismal fonts. And most importantly, this is the place of the appearance of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, this shrine is located in the temple and there is free access to it.
We have long wanted to visit this place, so on the way from Grodno to Minsk, we made a detour and stopped at the monastery.
There is a good souvenir shop near the complex, where there are very good magnets made of wood, plus various other handmade souvenirs made of wood.
The Assumption Cathedral looks very impressive, although you get used to such views after visiting various temples.
You can only see the Holy Dormition and Zhirovichi monasteries from the outside, of course you can't go inside. Perhaps it is possible for tour groups and they are being taken somewhere, we looked only from the outside.
There are two other small churches on the territory, but they are unremarkable. There is a refectory on site where you can eat, as well as buy fresh monastery bread. The bread is very tasty with a crispy crust. The territory itself is very well maintained.
A very atmospheric place✨ The ringing of the bells is magnificent and penetrates to the depths of the soul. Nicely. There is a very tasty bread in the monastery shop, which they bake themselves. And the food is also very tasty.
