In 2003, a temple was built on the territory of the monastery in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, and from that time the spiritual life of the monastery began.

Story

The Nizhny Novgorod Annunciation Monastery is located on the high right bank of the Oka River, not far from its confluence with the Volga, and currently represents a majestic monastic ensemble of white stone churches. It is believed that it was founded in 1221 by the Holy Blessed Grand Duke George Vsevolodovich and St. Simon, Bishop of Vladimir during the founding of Nizhny Novgorod.

In 1229, the monastery was attacked by the Mordovian prince Purgas, was completely destroyed and burned by the pagan prince, and ceased its activities for more than a hundred years. In 1357, Nizhny Novgorod was visited by Metropolitan Alexy of Moscow, who was heading to the Golden Horde as a representative for the Russian land. After the successful completion of his visit to the Horde, the archpastor fulfilled his vow to revive the ruined monastery. Through the efforts of Metropolitan Alexy, the white-stone single-domed Church of the Annunciation was built in 1370 and consecrated in 1371 in the Nizhny Novgorod Annunciation Monastery. In the 17th century the temple was rebuilt. The main shrine of the monastery was the Korsun Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, donated by St. Alexis to the brethren of the revived monastery. The image was of Byzantine work, brought by the Metropolitan from Moscow. During the years of Soviet power, the image was requisitioned. At present, his fate and whereabouts remain unknown.

Revived in the 14th century, the Annunciation Monastery began to grow and prosper. The Grand Dukes of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod granted him land holdings and supplied the inhabitants with everything they needed. Many secular and clergy donated monetary and property contributions to the establishment of this monastic monastery, becoming its patrons, defenders and benefactors.

Since the restoration of the monastery, it began to belong to the House of Metropolitans of Moscow, and with the establishment of the patriarchate in 1589, it was called the “house monastery of the Patriarchal House,” that is, stauropegial. The Russian high priests gave letters of grant to the Nizhny Novgorod Annunciation Monastery on their own behalf and asked for mercy from the monarchs for the monastery. Thus, during the reign of Archimandrites Ferapont II (1640–1649), Sergius (1651–1654) and Paphnutius (1660–1679), the Annunciation Monastery had many different benefits and advantages, enshrined in the corresponding charters. Being a kind of center for the dissemination of church culture and education, by the end of the 19th century the Annunciation Monastery had an extensive library in which handwritten and early printed books of the 16th - 19th centuries were preserved.

The number of inhabitants living in the monastery in the 18th century, until the reform of 1764, was 5060 people. In 1764, by decision of the Holy Synod, the Annunciation Monastery was transferred to the direct management of the local diocesan bishop - the Bishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas. In connection with the establishment of states, the monastery was ranked in the third class, with abbots, however, replaced for the most part by archimandrites. Many outstanding shepherds emerged from the walls of the Annunciation Monastery. In the 19th century, two outstanding saints of the Nizhny Novgorod land labored in the Annunciation Monastery - Bishop Jeremiah (Soloviev) of Nizhny Novgorod and Archbishop Macarius (Mirolyubov). In the middle of the 19th century, the most significant event in the history of the monastery was the construction of the new Alekseevskaya Church (1837) and the new stone chapel (1847) in the name of St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow, patron saint of the Annunciation Monastery. After their death, Saints Jeremiah (Soloviev, 1884) and Macarius (Mirolyubov, 1894) were buried in the Alekseevsky Church.

After the October Revolution, the Nizhny Novgorod Annunciation Monastery was closed in 1919. Gradually, various civil institutions and organizations settled within its walls. The residential premises housed a school named after M. Yu. Lermontov, as well as communal apartments for workers and employees. Warehouses and other outbuildings were used by the military department, placing convoy transport in them. On the territory of the monastery, boats were built, carriages were repaired, horses were shoed, etc. Only one small church remained at the disposal of believers in the name of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called. In 1922, under the pretext of helping the hungry, the most valuable liturgical objects were confiscated from the churches of the Annunciation Monastery - gold and silver vestments from icons, altar crosses, tabernacles, vessels, censers, lamps and much more. According to archival documents, the total weight of the 135 seized items was about 136 kilograms.

In 1923, on the basis of the official conclusion of the secular authorities, the stone over-chapel in the name of St. Alexis over the holy spring was destroyed as a dilapidated structure that did not represent any special architectural value.

In 1924, at the request of the parish council of St. Andrew's Church, which at that time was headed by Archimandrite Joseph (Kamenetsky), the monastery was accepted under the protection of the local Gubernia Museum. All its buildings were classified as the first category of monuments protected by the state, but these measures could not save the monastery from ruin. In 1928, the only St. Andrew's Church operating at that time was closed, and its property was transferred to the state. From that time on, all monastic buildings were finally nationalized and church life was interrupted. The few brethren and members of the clergy were evicted and subjected to various oppressions and persecutions.

In 1948, a planetarium was located in the Alekseevsky Church, and therefore the temple was partially rebuilt.

In 1960, the monastery ensemble as an architectural monument was taken under state protection, but all its buildings remained in a dilapidated state, without repair or reconstruction. In the 70–80s of the 20th century, partial restoration of some buildings of the Annunciation Monastery began, primarily the Annunciation Cathedral, which was damaged by the 1974 hurricane. In 1987, restoration work was completed.

The revival of the Annunciation Monastery began in 1991, when the ancient monastery was returned to the Nizhny Novgorod diocese. Church life resumed within the walls of the monastery, and divine services began to be held. September 25, 1993 is considered the official opening date of the monastery.

With the beginning of the restoration of the spiritual life of the monastery, the revival of spiritual education in the Nizhny Novgorod diocese also began. With the blessing of Metropolitan Nikolai (Kutepov) of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas, catechist courses were initially located within the walls of the Annunciation Monastery, and then the Nizhny Novgorod Theological Men's School, which was transformed into a theological seminary in 1995. Students of the Nizhny Novgorod Theological Seminary took an active part in the revival of the monastery, who performed various obediences in the monastery. The restoration and revival of the spiritual life of the Annunciation Monastery continues to this day.

Deposition of the Robe Convent

This monastery is located in Suzdal, founded in 1207. He became famous thanks to Saint Euphrosyne. In the world, she was Princess Theodulia of Chernigov, who took monastic vows in this monastery and then became its abbess. She performed many miracles during her lifetime, as well as 2 posthumous miracles, which the monk Gregory wrote about.

In 1923, the monastery was closed, its bells were sent to be melted down, and political isolation ward guards were stationed in the buildings. Only in 1999 it was returned to the church and it was revived.

Difficult times and revival of the monastery

In 1924, Red Army soldiers came to the monastery, ordinary monks were sent to dig trenches, and the hieromonks were shot. A gym was built in the Transfiguration Cathedral. The monastery was turned into a colony for minors.

The holy relics were placed in a local history museum, but believers came there and prayed. The outraged Bolsheviks ordered the relics to be hidden in a museum storeroom.

In the 90s of the 20th century, the monastery began to be revived. Since 1994, the tradition of pilgrimage was resumed, and a Sunday school and museum were opened in the monastery. The museum was founded by Abbot Tikhon.

The museum's collections include ancient documents and books, photographs and icons, and household items.

Verkhoturye is an ancient Ural city

At the end of the 16th century, in 1598, a fort was founded on the border of the Urals and Siberia to protect the waterway up the Kama to Solikamsk and down the Tura to the Ob. The main fortress on the way to Siberia expanded and grew. In the town, which was called the “Gateway of Siberia,” a customs office was set up, so that all Siberian goods to the west went through Verkhoturye.

Gradually the town becomes not only a cultural, but also a spiritual center of the Urals. There is no such density of churches and monasteries per thousand people as in Verkhoturye, where 8.5 thousand people live, anywhere else in the Ural region.
