Another brilliant Orthodox monastery, in the center of the city. A real oasis, with a big temple of unique beauty. A perfect place for praying...

Awesome Bulding

The new church of martyrs and confessors is a must go in Moscow. Has one advantage over Christ the Savior, you can take pics. Beautiful place and no far from the metro station. Woman please dont forget this is a religious place, dont use miniskirts or shorts and you must cover your head.

Beautiful Easter service. The mens choir was amazing.

Must visit if youre tourist in Moscow

A place that inspires silence and introspection even, indeed, when one is an atheist ... The serenity and the energy that this monastery hides from the tumult Muscovite clear are really worth seeing

Beautifully built new monastery, beautiful artwork and paintings on all of the walls and ceilings.

The best and the most beautifully place in the downtown. Monastery and the New Cathedral are the perl of the district. And the Garden inside the Monastery is just great. Astonishing. The one minus is the lack of parking spot (its Moscow Downtown dears). You can register for the Excursion where the highly experienced tourist guide will tell you all the story and religious heritage if the place. Besides you can visit book store, Jewelry store and get some traditional Russian food in the Cafe, located there.

A real place of faith and prayer

Nice original frescoes in the smaller and much older church of the monastery..

Beautiful. Especially the paintings on the wall and ceilings. Just remember to look up :)

The renovated church has beautifully made frescos worth seeing, but the older church spirit, smell of cuddle wax and mystical ambiance is unique ! I would love to be able to attend a sunday ceremony . Unfortunately I had no time as my departure was 2 days before ...

Beautiful landmark at night.

Very impressive restoration/rebuilding, but makes you wonder if so much money had to be spent on this...

Amazing place. Both the old and the new church are incredible beautiful

Good)

Very nice church

Loved it

Good

Wow!

Today I attended the morning service. With Gods help, he confessed, took communion, venerated the relics of Hieromartyr Hilarion (Trinity). For me, visiting the Sretensky stavropegic monastery is a great spiritual joy. Both the new large temple and the old temple, which is more than three hundred years old, amazes with its splendor. I advise all believers, ladles and simply connoisseurs of architecture to visit this place.I would also like to note the wonderful sounding of the chants.

Чудесное место, но одна из продавщиц магазина, на втором этаже, в частности, работала сегодня в первой половине дня, вызывает вопросы и просто пугает. Назойливо, бесконечно долго навязывает товар, настаивает, чтобы приобрели ненужный товар, чтобы, дословно, спасти её шкуру, так как выручка маленькая и, если я не приобрету ненужный мне крем, их закроют, в довершение всего, после бесконечных попыток заставить меня купить всё, что попадало в её поле зрения, начала восхищаться маленькой брошью на моём пальто, перегнулась через прилавок и без разрешения вцепилась в лацкан пальто, стала тянуть на себя, чтобы посмотреть не просто даже на брошь, а как она крепится, выворачия лацкан. Я даже не успела отреагировать, женщина просто в меня вцепилась. Пожалуйста, проведите с ней работу.

My beloved Sretensky convent, I love being here very much!

Reviews of the Sretensky MonasteryA lot has been written, I want to draw your attention in my review to the fact that here is one of the five originally created exact copies of the Shroud of Turin in the world!The Shroud of Turin is called the fifth GospelIt was handed over to the Sretensky Monastery by the American scientist John Jackson in 1997; during the transfer, it was consecrated by His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II.

Чудесное место в центре Москвы. Попадаешь в другой мир

Beautiful! Gracefully!You can pray, go to services, help with business, buy fresh pastries and useful spiritual literature.

On the territory of the old monastery, founded in 1397. Prince Vasily 1, in memory of the deliverance of Moscow from the invasion of Tamerlane, a new Temple of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church was erected, built using BIM technologies.Before the painting was created a computer model of the iconography of the walls and dome (3D mapping) Impressive!

Wonderful place with hospitable brethren. Amazing temples, both new and old. Great choir !!!

The monastery sunk into the soul with the tragedy of its history, wild times that survived the walls of the shrine, which turned out to be as strong as faith. Save God!

I looked at the emerald tiles in the white wall from the side of the street, I wanted to go in. The territory is beautiful, green, domes shine in the sun, a lot of details, mosaics, and before everything passed by, while there is such beauty

You must definitely go there! Indescribable beauty!

Очень красивый православно-архитектурный комплекс, богатая история.

Genuinely beautiful, clean, everything is well-groomed everywhere.

Large and beautiful monastery in the city center

Suddenly, in the center of Moscow, to see such a wonderful temple, the light material of the walls (marble or sandstone) covered with delicate patterns, all this is mesmerizing. The light of the sun, especially in the evening, falls beautifully on the walls of the temple. And this is only a part of the Sretensky monastery for men. A beautiful old temple, modern buildings similar to administrative ones, but very nicely decorated. And greens. Flowers and ivy. And most importantly, peace and quiet.

Sretinskys favorite place of prayer! The soul asks to go there.

Awesome place. Very beautiful.

Blessed trip☦️🙏😇Father Hilarione, pray to God for us☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏🌹

Very beautiful place. The temple and surroundings are fascinating. I recommend everyone to visit

A wonderful place of Russian antiquity in the center of Moscow, you go beyond the walls of the monastery and find yourself in a quiet, cozy, almost homely church. Even the new Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ does not spoil the place, I do not really like the neighborhood of antiquity and remake, but in this case it did not jar me, since the cathedral is a work of art, both outside and inside. I recommend for visiting everyone, both believers and lovers of ancient architecture.

From the history of the foundation of the monastery:“The foundation of the Sretensky monastery is a wonderful and wonderful story. In 1395, regiments of Timur (Tamerlane), the conqueror who captured all of Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Iran, Anatolia, Khorezm, India, approached Moscow from the south. Moscow did not have the strength to overcome such an invasion.The Primate of the Russian Church, Metropolitan Cyprian and Grand Duke Vasily I, the eldest son of Dmitry Donskoy, ordered that the greatest shrine, the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, be transferred from the city of Vladimir-on-Klyazma.On September 8 (August 26), a procession with an icon arrived in Moscow, where a prayer service was served at the Kuchkov field near the wooden church of St. Mary of Egypt. Muscovites, young and old, cried and asked the Most Holy Theotokos for help.That same night, Tamerlan saw in a dream how a pillar of light fell from heaven to earth, a magnificent Wife appeared in him, surrounded by countless angelic troops, and ordered him to leave Moscow. The counselors explained to the frightened khan: this Wife is the Mother of the Christian God, the Intercessor of the Russians, and Her strength is irresistible. Tamerlan was so struck by the vision that he deployed troops to the south and fell upon the Khan of the Golden Horde Tokhtamysh, to whom Moscow paid tribute. So the Golden Horde ceased to exist as a single state, which for Russia was the most important moment in liberation from the yoke.The Feast of the Meeting (meeting) of the Vladimir Icon became the main holiday of Moscow. In the same year, on the site of a wonderful meeting, the wooden Church of the Meeting was built, and in 1397 Prince Vasily I announced the creation of the Sretensky Monastery, which also included the parish church of St. Mary of Egypt. ”

A beautiful and unusual temple. It looks like a palace inside when you go up the stairs. There was an evening prayer service and it was not convenient to walk, to look at. There are many guards, even watching the prayer service. The territory is beautiful, well-groomed and there is even a pond with goldfish.

Sretensky Monastery amazes with its splendor! A historical place where time stands still and all adversity is released. May God save the abbot and all who pray around the clock for Gods servants!

I watched the construction stages several years ago. Now you can see in all its glory. The interior decoration is striking in the size of the arches. On the territory there is a monastery shop with food.

This is an oasis in the center of Moscow, I don’t have enough words to express my admiration! Special thanks to the guide Artemy for a very interesting and informative excursion!

You know, a good mood begins on the way to buying souvenirs. Everything is good somehow. At the entrance I asked where the skirts with shawls were, what to see and in response received almost a whole lecture about the monastery. Unusual beauty inside and from the observation deck. Everything is clean, beautiful, weeded. Even the firewood neatly laid out in a niche removed. Separate praise to the bell ringer! Elegant bells of high octave, sound like silver, without rattling.A lot more to restore! I hope that the city will help and this wonderful place will sparkle with all colors and will be a worthy gem to the crown of Rostov.

We walk, run along the streets of Moscow back and forth, and sometimes we don’t even suspect what beauty is hiding behind the walls.I like the territory. Yes, small but well maintained and comfortable.The new temple is something magnificent that is outside, that is inside.Metropolitan Tikhon Shevkunov still well done. Loved him here when he was here.And he loved this place! It is felt.The choir is generally a separate issue.

The beginning of the review was written in 2019. A monastery in the center of Moscow, the new church is very rich, beautiful! On the territory there is an accessible toilet, however, a small one, not very clean WITHOUT paper and soap, but thank God there is water, toilets and doors in the booths, there are even hooks for bags in the booths.There is a cafe, which does not have very many seats, there is also a toilet (I did not check it), natural coffee from the machine - Americano 110 rubles.The menu is rather poor, but in general there is a choice, but the service and staff of this so-called cafe requires a separate story.First, I had to wait for my aunt at the distribution of hot dishes, came with a disgruntled face and could not clearly explain what to take (or rather, she did not know what could be sold and what could be given for free to the employees who eat) at the monastery, then there was no sugar on the table in a sugar bowl and napkins.A little later, the cleaning lady began to deliberately close the floor between the tables.Then a man came running and practically tore the trays and dishes out of our hands (we had to additionally go for a teaspoon). The apotheosis of all this was the loud movement of chairs across the floor under the tables and the switching off of the lights in the next room (although more than half an hour was left until the closing schedule). After that, my friend and I did not tempt fate, fearing to rake something else, and it became impossible to talk in the roar of the chairs being moved: we left this inhospitable place. You can bring the people out of the scoop, but you cannot bring the scoop out of the people.Continued review: March 2021Since the last visit we have improved the toilet, although this Orthodox service has shown itself anyway: the worker shouted into the space when we were sitting in the offices: Throw the paper into the toilet!Usually, there are announcements to the contrary, therefore, probably people throw paper on the floor, because the trash cans for paper are not placed there.

Очень красиво, очень спокойно на душе, была первый раз, теперь буду посещать чаще, и вам рекомендую

Not a repeat historical place of our city. The beauty of the territory and the splendor of the temples. Add to this bouquet the singing of the male choir and you experience feelings unknown to you!

A very pleasant place, on the territory of the monastery there are old and new buildings, in an old small church.Very beautiful painting of the walls, perhaps the walls have undergone restoration, and the new, stone church inside is large, beautiful, it must also be seen, but it feels like an old church. will not produce, since he has not nourished in himself antiquity, originality.

Once it was a Moscow courtyard with the temple of the Meeting nearby was special. school number 16 with a slope of the French language. In the 90s the temple was given to the church. Since in the Soviet years there was a restoration workshop in it, then the temple was not damaged. Wall murals remained in their splendor. The territory of the monastery was transformed into a rose garden, thanks to an old monk - a gardener. He took care of the landings in any weather. Grew magnificent roses. With the construction of a new temple, the territory of the monastery was transformed. Paradise in the city center.

Divine place. Anything you can guess will be.

The monastery impresses with its shrines and atmosphere and employees. It is convenient to get there from any area, because is located in the center near the metro. There is a huge selection of literature, icons and delicious food nearby. There are no queues for confession and communion. There are many priests and all are very attentive and sympathetic.

A very worthy temple, everything is beautiful, there is a lot of air, the stunning face of Jesus Christ.

Magnificent temples, beautiful seminary building, real splendor. Spiritual atmosphere, cleanliness and kindness surround everyone who comes.

Magnificent monastery.

Now restoration work is underway in the old building of the monastery. Notes can be submitted, candles of excellent quality, etc. Buy. Prices for church items are below average, there are candles for a voluntary donation. The yard is tidy and clean.

One of the capital’s favorite monasteries. The old temple is especially like, sweet, prayed, the choir is beautiful. The atmosphere is amazing. The new temple impresses with its decoration and convenience for people with disabilities. But we are mainly in the fact that the 17th century. On the territory there is a refectory.

A very beautiful temple with a rich history; clean well-groomed territory of the monastery.

A huge bookstore with a cafe, kiosk, icon and jewelry store. There is everything in one word) Delicious bottled natural lemonade in the kiosk! I have never seen such one anywhere. The old temple is being renovated. New

On the territory of the monastery there is a literary cafe-trapeze. Unholy saints. Nice, quiet, cozy place. There are paintings and photographs on the walls, various old interesting things and books of Orthodox content are on the shelves. The food is simple, satisfying. Not cheap, but compared to worldly institutions, prices are reasonable. Dried fruit compote is a buffet with pies and pie. Gingerbread and carrot cake are delicious. The dough at the pies is more like bread than pies. In general, it is nice to stop here while walking along the boulevard ring and have a snack or a full meal. The courtyard of the monastery is immersed in greenery and flowers. There is a small pond under a willow with a goldfish. Smells like incense, juniper and roses

Nice quiet place. The exhibition left a lasting impression. They especially came with the children to the service on Friday to listen to the choir. Beautiful singing

A great place of worship for the Orthodox

An iconic place for the Orthodox! The centuries-old history, multiple trials of the monastery, new and old - all this attracts people here. Not only believers, but also curious people, tourists, Catholics and others.Interesting excursions are organized for those interested in the history of the emergence and development of the monastery. They are conducted by the servants of the monastery. Very interesting and informative 👏

This place is admirable! Very beautiful architecture both inside and outside. The monastery itself is, as it were, hidden behind a fence. You will pass by and you will not think that such beauty is hidden there!

Good place! Yesterday (19.10.21) the funeral service was for Olga Georgievna Berezkina, who worked in this church for more than 25 years. Everything was so solemn and at the same time warm and caring. Relatives and friends are grateful to the servants of the monastery

I was in this Monastery on the feast of the Epiphany or Baptism of the Lord. I liked the well-groomed territory of the Monastery. The interior and the magnificent wall painting inside the templeJohn the Baptist.And I also liked the smell of wax candles, I have never seen such a divine smell.

Sretensky MonasteryThere are two buildings on the territory of the monastery, a small one and a large one. Both are open to the public.Small building - Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church. It contains the relics of the Venerable Mary of Egypt.Venerable Mary of Egypt - Heavenly patroness of the Sretensky Monastery from the moment of its establishment. Even a monastery was founded in 1397 next to the wooden church of St. Mary of Egypt, erected in 1385.In a large building, in the basement, there is a church shop. I could not tear myself away for half an hour, from studying such bright and weighty books. Of course, meaningful and useful.Above, there is a two-story spacious hall, with the faces of saints very, very beautiful. Here are the POWERS OF THE PRIEST MARTYR HILARION (TROITSKY).Hieromartyr Hilarion (Troitsky), Archbishop of Vereysk (1886–1929), who laid down his life for the Church of Christ, was an outstanding hierarch, one of the greatest church leaders of the 20th century, rector of the Sretensky Monastery in the 1920s.The energy of the monastery disposes to solitude and reflection.Thank!#icon # Moscow # Church # Orthodox # Monastery

A beautiful monastery! You can order an indefatigable psalter, magpie. A very beautiful temple!

I liked the temple visually from the outside, I decided to visit. I went to the temple, and for some reason he decided to close at 17 oclock and the grannies very nervously began to send everyone away ... I will not shoot a star for the rudeness of the elderly, there is nothing you can do about it. But I recommend to visit a shop with buns and products from the Sergiev Lavra, I really love their Tavrichesky drink, but in Moscow I did not know where to buy.

Spiritual place.

Everything is very beautifully restored, well-groomed territory, polite security at the entrance, but its better, as before, whatever it was, you dont feel comfortable

If you are in Moscow Be sure to visit!

A monumental, very beautiful temple and a cozy area with many incredibly beautiful flowers

So then we drove to the Sretensky Monastery, bought Easter cakes and suddenly I saw the information that it turns out that there is a very rare shrine here. A copy of the Shroud of Turin, in which the body of the crucified Christ was wrapped.Its just a miracle, there are only five of them in the whole world. With great reverence, I prayed beside her and we started back.

Luxurious, built with the investment of colossal money ... For me - I would rather give the money to our poor pensioners ...But thanks at least the candles are cheaper than in other Moscow churches!

Very beautiful temple. But keep in mind the entrance is not from the Boulevard Ring but from the Lubyanka.

Very fertile, namolennoe place. A wonderful, bright and spacious Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the New Martyrs of the Russian Land. On Sundays and holidays - the famous Sretensky male choir for the whole of Russia. To fans of choral singing - I highly recommend it!

An ancient monastery, but with a new beautiful and spacious cathedral (consecrated in 2017). Awesome hearing and heart-touching male choir. Divine service always takes place sublimely, strictly and solemnly. I really like to come here, it is easy to pray here and follow the course of the service.Also in the monastery there are such shrines: the relics of the martyr Hilarion of Vereya, a particle of the relics of st. Mary of Egypt. There is a center for the study of the Shroud of Turin. There is a book publishing house in the monastery - there is a shop nearby. This is one of the largest bookstores of spiritual and religious literature.

Suddenly, a new sensation came from a well-known place. For many years I walked and drove by without entering the territory. And I didnt know that it was so interesting here. I recommend it to connoisseurs of cult architecture.

Holy place. New Temple and old Meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. Now I was in a new church. Excellent choirs for men and women.

Очень хорошо, так хорошо, что даже и не передать.

In the very center of Moscow, the Sretensky Monastery, one of the ancient monasteries, has been revived. It is dedicated to the great event in honor of which the twelfth feast of the Presentation of the Lord is celebrated - February 15. On this day, the Most Holy Theotokos, according to Jewish laws, brought her newborn son to the temple, where they were met by a very old priest Simeon and the progenitor Anna. They, as the personification of the Old Testament, met and recognized the Messiah of God-Chelrvek Jesus Christ - the personification of the New Testament! That is why the holiday is called Presentation. Now, on the territory of the monastery, a magnificent church has been built in honor of the Russian new martyrs, into which the relics of one of the Russian Saints, Hieromartyr Hilarion, have been transferred. In the monastery there are many Miracle-working icons and a special shrine - a copy of the Shroud of Christ, a particle of the relics of St. Mary of Egypt and many Saints of the Pskov-Caves Monastery. The Sretensky Seminary and the monasterys publishing department are known throughout the country. Sretensky Monastery is part of the precious necklace of the monasteries of the Boulevard Ring of our beloved Moscow. In past centuries, they were the defensive boundaries of the city. Nearby is the Christmas Womens Monastery, founded by Dmitry Donskoy for the widows of soldiers who died on the Kulikovo field, then the Vysoko-Petrovsky MonasteryAbout two monasteriesI heard the legend in my distant childhood,I dont remember everything, to be honest,As in ancient times they stood next doorMale and female - two monasteries.Monks lived hard without care,Life for nuns is not syrup either.And then one day a friend to meet a friendThey began to dig underground.It was a hard way to meet at dawnAnd Im sad - well, how can I not be sad! -After all, women dug two-thirds,Men are only a third of that way.They let out smoke in rings,Trailing anecdote behind an anecdote,And at this time, women were digging,And they moved slowly forward.I will indicate another reason separately,I know these things in advance,Monks, Im sure parallelDigging under the wine cellar.They swallowed the fortified wine,Trailing anecdote behind an anecdote,And at this time, women were digging,And the women moved forward.But now, among them, someone was found alone,He said: “Brothers, there is no cross on you!Give us smooth work!Give labor productivity! Then the monks sat for a long timeAnd made a work plan for the year,And at this time, women were digging,And the women moved forward.It is not about the monks that I grieve nowI wouldnt write poetry about them;Let the monks answer themselvesFor their medieval sins.Years have passed - and now what to gossip,Who dug deep, and who dug in breadth.But the main task remains -Lazy men to bring under the monastery.There is even such a legend! A visit to these Moscow shrines and historical places is desirable even for non-Orthodox Christians: the history and greatness of military and spiritual deeds in every stone of these Holy places of the Power of the Spirit and Love!

It is good and beautiful here, the soul calms down 🙏.

A wonderful monastery that has gone through all the turns of history with Russia. Today the restored and renewed continues to bring the light of Christ to all people.

A modern temple with elevators, decorated in green colors. New church style.

Grace

Broke down the cat house. Everything you need to know about the ROC in cities. I sincerely hope that they will take over and make a new one.

Beautiful place. I was not inside. But outside is a well-kept beautiful courtyard with flowers

Well worth a visit. The beauty!!!

A small cozy monastery in the center of Moscow. My favorite place in the city. Now services are being held in the new church, because it is being restored.

I’ve been thinking about which monastery to go for a long time. I watched the lectures. I liked it. It’s good that there is a theological seminary at the monastery. I made a vow to God 5 years ago that I will become a priest. God in heaven showed me that I would be a hieromonk. My soul was on in the other world. I stood on some platform. I saw people in white. I poured a BOWL of honey drink, but didn’t give me a drink. Then a black THRONE appeared in the sky and it stopped in front of me. From the THRONE came a VOICE: “It’s too early for him. When will you execute what I promised. And I promised to become a priest. Most recently, when I left the temple I saw that I mustache Christ from the icon smile! A miracle!
