History of the monastery

The hour of the foundation of the St. Nicholas Women's Monastery is definitely not an appointment. Imovirno cloister Vinyl around 1580. Apparently, in 1588, a carved sculpture by Mykoli Mozhaisky was brought to the new monastery as a gift. Nadal, the cloisters were taken by Tsar Vasil Ivanovich Shuisky, who, in his ignorance of the reign, managed to give the monastery Mlyn. Tsar Mikhailo Fedorovich will help the monastery greatly.

The first monasteries woke up until the great after the first third of the 17th century, when the Crimean monastery burned down and the Arzamas fort. The warm Bogoyavlensky Church of the Nevdovs was built on a blessed day and was the only one at the monastery for about 30 years. Only in 1683, a roci was wilted and consecrated to the first stone church of Mikil'ska.

Nova Velika became the year 1726. With the help of the sisters, that place of Meshkantsiv was rebuilt anew. On the site of a warm wooden church, in 1738, a stone double-topped church was erected in honor of the Epiphany. On the first version of the church, a likarnya church was placed in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Sorrows".

Starting from 1764, it was a sacrificial woman's monastery of the III class.

Until the closing of the monastery in the XX century, various crafts were running on the territory of the yogi: painting, seamstress, gold embroidery, lace, knitting and others. Bulo also opened a liquor with a pharmacy, a childish Syrian porch, a hospice, a school. About 200 inhabitants lived near the monastery.

In 1918, Arzamas became the headquarters of the Khidny Front of the Red Army. Budinki of the St. Nicholas Monastery were often parked for the placement of parts that arrived. On the 15th of spring 1920, the inhabitants of the monastery united to the Mykolaiv Labor Artillery with a ceremonial statute up to the Radianian legislation. Until the summer of 1923, the sisters of the artillery were tying the terms of the military zamovlennya from the sewing of dads for the Chervona Army, they knitted merezhi for the Glavribi, miles of underlay in the offices of the authorities, and also practiced in the fields of the district. Ignorantly on a loyal stand before the Bolsheviks, in 1928 the artil was broken, and the monastery was closed.

The church houses of the monastery often razruynuvali, often began vikoristovuvaty pіd zhitlo and raznі svіtskі established.

In 1994, the monastery was transferred to the Nizhny Novgorod eparchy, the restoration of the monastery and the rebirth of the black day began.

On one of the virgin rivers of the river Tesha, in 1552, Ivan the Terrible slaughtered the near-cordon town of Arzamas. In the last quarter of the 16th century, at the very center of the city, on the main Cathedral Square, another monastery (women) was erected, consecrations in the name of St. Nicholas, Miracle Worker of Mirliky.

Two for their history - in 1650 and 1726. - vigoryav uschent monastery. For the first time, the widow of the father Theophylact Pelagia and the yogi son Gregory and Athanasius, was vindicated with a cat. Suddenly, the place, and at the same time the monastery, was devastated by the fire, maybe, the best for the whole hour was the foundation of Arzamas. Kam'yana Church of St. Mikoli the Wonderworker, vichikuvana after the first fire, collapsed in a strong fire. However, thanks to the efforts of the abbess, the sisters' incomprehensible labors, the donations of the inhabitants of the city, the Mikilsky girl's monastery was renewed anew.

In 1738, the monks in the monastery built a new cold stone church of St. Mykoli the Wonderworker. Vizerunkovy cornices and platbands of vikons, ganoks and a terrace from the pivden side made the facade of the temple especially shaky. The temple is famous for its miraculous acoustics. At the walls there were fluted voices, at the sight of gleks, as if they were immured in the future. This temple, as well as the wooden church in the name of the Epiphany, were built with the efforts and work of the abbess of the monastery of Mary (Gruzinka), as a cloister of 30 years (1719–1749).

In 1764, after the church reform, Mykolaiv girl's monastery became a full-time third-class monastery, with the salary of the 16 sisters.

From 1777 to 1784 Abbess Mary was the head of the monastery. In 1777, the wooden Church of the Epiphany was replaced with a stone one in 1777. In 1779, the fate of Mikilsky was embellished with a wooden sculptural group, which depicts the burial of the Savior. Її the author was talanovitiy Arzamas priest Vasil Ilyin. The moustache of the figures was virizan on the size of a person. The stinks were like some evangelists, who stood there as a demon, in which the Savior lay, at their heads stood an angel with a right candle, that Josip of Arimathea, who was white - another angel and Nicodemus. Nearly drone - Bogomatir, crying, supported by the John the Theologian, and Mary Magdalene. That’s right, a glimpse of a different, unfinished church mysticism.

On April 5, 1886, Avraamy Nekrasov, the oldest archpriest of the Mykolaiv Monastery, the spiritual father of the Arzamas clergy, died at the age of 81. In 1828, the roci vins became friends and of the same fate they were hanging from the priest. Serving at the Trinity Church in the village of Pavlovo, having changed for 25 years until 1853.

On the first fate of his priesthood, Father Abraham saw the Sarov monastery. Father Abraham, having learned from the illustrious old man Seraphim, was blessed and slept about his share. The great ascetic, having given Yom an acknowledgment and telling him that he would be victorious against schismatics, would be richly tolerant of attacks and untruths, and become a dean. Everything came to an end in its own time. Father Avraamіy vіv great listuvannya zі his spiritual children. Two of his most beloved spiritual children came to the Sarov monastery, one of them eventually became the rector of the monastery.

From 1853 until his death, Father Abraham served and spiritually took care of the sisters of the Arzamas Mykolaiv Monastery, which became his family.

Batko Avraamiy reverently remembered the memory of Seraphim of Sarov, eagerly sharing his thoughts with his sisters about his sisters. On the eve of the day of the repose of the saint (15 Sichnya N.S.) serving according to the new memorial service, cupping a faceless candle with a wet koshta, placing it in front of the mustache icons in the church and handing it out to everyone who prays. Like the greatest saints, having saved the cloak like the mantle of the reverend, the tooth, if it was beaten by the robbers, that they attacked him, and part of the head of the head of Father Seraphim. Having handed over all her sins ahead of her death to the blueberry Euphrosyne, as a year she became the abbess of the monastery. The death of Father Abraham was easy and calm.

After 1928 the monastery was closed. The cells were handed over to the living quarters, and the church life gradually fell and collapsed.

In 1994, the turn of the monastery was turned to the Church, and for some, a blacker life began to grow. With great difficulties, the warm Epiphany Church, the cells for the sisters, was restored.

In 2001, 25 sisters lived in the monastery at the choir with Abbess George (Fedotova).

In the 19th century in Arzamas, handicrafts flourished. Close to 1840, a new industry appeared in the Mykolaiv Monastery: there they began to knit laces and chobitki with a variety of colors from the vyzerunkami at the sight of flowers and that leaf. Mustaches of Arzamas fashionistas wanted mothers so shockingly, the monastery was literally littered with charms and nevdovzі tse handicrafts were adopted by the mіska girls and women.

History of the monastery

The exact date of the founding of the monastery is unknown, but it is important that the foundations were founded for Ivan the Terrible in 1580. The wooden Mikilsky temple was built on the back of the head, and at the beginning of the night a monastery was founded.

Dvichi for its history, in 1650 and 1726, the monastery won the vshchent.

In 1738, the monks in the monastery built a new cold stone church of St. Mykoli the Wonderworker.

In 1764, following the church reform, Mykolaiv girl's monastery became a regular third-class monastery.

In 1777 the wooden Church of the Epiphany was replaced with a stone one.

In 1811, a stone Church of the Epiphany of the Lord was raised to the stone Church of the Epiphany in 1813, consecrated in 1813. In 1878, the roci was confirmed and consecrated like the Mikilsky temple.

Before the closing of the monastery, outside the Radyansk hours, various crafts were working on the territory: painting, seamstress, gold embroidery, lace, knitting and others. Bulo also opened a liquor with a pharmacy, a childish Syrian porch, a hospice, a school. About 200 inhabitants lived near the monastery.

Monastir was inspired in 1994.

Temples of the monastery

At this hour, there are two active churches in the monastery:

in honor of the Epiphany and in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Sorrowful"
temple, which will be in honor of St. Mykoli the Wonderworker.

Shrines of the monastery

shanovan icon of the Mother of God "Poryatunok in the life of the afflicted",
shanovan icon "Gidno є",
icons of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker,
Icons of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow and the Holy Martyr Tatiana with particles of relics,
an ark with parts of the relics of the Optina elders and other saints.

At the Church of the Epiphany, below, there was a likarny temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Sorrows (with pennies)". I will name the temple of saving and saving all the joys that scrape away with sins. There is no more high service, lower to bear the joy of the mourners. Under mourning, they toil in the air, not only a sum of experiences, but also physical suffering in the form of ailments. It is not without reason that the church was named after this icon. The axis of the crisis was the cause of that suffering, like the light of the world, and brought joy in the air, the icon of the Mother of God "All the sorrowful joy." At the same time, there are two holy places of the monastery – the icon of the Mother of God “Poryatunok for the sufferers” and “Gidno є” (Rublen). Here, a pre-revolutionary shroud is saved, sewn with a silver thread

Do not change the flow of pilgrims, no matter how fateful. A living stream of stench flows down to the lower temple, de sisters give it a tour, tell about the history of miraculous icons. On the knees they sing an akathist in front of the icon of the Mother of God “Order for the suffering”, and with tears in their eyes, ask the Queen of Heaven for help. It is also reverent to pray before our miraculous icon "It is good". They are applied in the prayer passage to the icons of the Joy of Sorrowful Mouths, St. Mykola the Wonderworker, St. Sergius of Radonez and Seraphim of Sarov. Everything is quiet with the old-fashioned spirit of prayer. In 1994, the temple was turned into a monastery. Under the omophorion of the Mother of God, everything came to life. And now, like a terrible dream, the fates of unfortunate atheism have sunk into oblivion. First Orthodox, from the comforts of our indefatigable land, come here, before the holy month, pray and relax.

The Most Pure Diva is depicted on the icon in full size with outstretched hands. The Savior sits over Her in the darkness. On the sides of the image there are images of angels and those suffering. Behind the Mother of God are images of green woods. І neodminnі twelve coins. Behind orders, this image was nailed with whips to the mother of the merchants of Kurakin on the Neva. Over the years, the icon passed to the merchant Matveev, whose mother resembled the Kurakin family, who donated the Tikhvin chapel of the village of Klochki near St. Petersburg, which was located near the St. Petersburg glass factory. On this place for the image, a chapel was set up. On the 23rd lime, 1888, a terrible thunderstorm blew up, the sparkle hit the chapel, singed the inner walls of that icon, but did not hit the image of the Mother of God. The icon appeared in the wake of the blow, ale, the appearance of the Mother of God, which had long since darkened in the hour and the cold, brightened and renewed. Twelve mid-sized coins from a broken mug for alms were found to be fastened in different places to the image (on the lists from the icons, the coins are depicted as farboi). The news about the miraculous preservation of the image spread throughout the capital, yoga chanting grew with the skin day, and the mercy of God glorified the icon with wondrous miracles.

First of all, which brought all-Russian popularity, on the 6th of March 1890, when the 14-year-old orphan Mykola Grachov was born from childhood, he was suffering from attack (having spent the year in the painting school of the Imperial Association of Mystical Hospitations). February 7, 1891 the 26th squad of the clerk from the Thornton factory, Vira Bilonogina, took off, as if she had lost her voice through a sore throat. From that hour, the sick and the suffering were rich, as they went to the Most Holy Lady with wide faith and fervent prayer, took healing before the Її holy rank. In 1898, a church was opened at the chapel of the chapel. All the mournful Joy and the imaginative Intercessor, and the greedy Zhiviteli, the wondrous Rest, addiction, what to scold, the ailing Vіdvіduvannya, the German Veils and Intercessor, the Wand of old age, the Mother of God Cherry, You are Most Pure, rush, we pray, to be saved by Your servant.
