Boris and Gleb monastery in Rostov the Great
Boris and Gleb monastery in Rostov the Great, Orthodox monastery in Borisoglebsky, Russia
The stone monastery structures include 15 defensive towers, main cathedral, Annunciation Church, and refectory standing along a small lake near Rostov the Great.
The monastery was founded in 1363 under the blessing of Saint Sergius of Radonezh at the request of two hermits, Paul and Theodore.
The monastery became a spiritual center for Moscow princes and early Russian tsars who made substantial donations, including Ivan the Terrible and Boris Godunov.
The monastery offers religious services, memorial prayers, and accepts donations through bank transfers for various durations from single prayers to permanent commemorations.
The monastery housed Saint Irinarh, who predicted the Polish invasion and met with Polish commander Jan Sapega during the Time of Troubles.
