Zavolzhskiy Svyato-Il'inskiy monastery, Orthodox monastery in Podgory, Russia.
Zavolzhskiy Svyato-Il'inskiy monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Podgory with several buildings arranged to serve religious services and monastic daily life. The site contains churches, residential quarters, and spaces for prayer and contemplation that form a cohesive religious community.
The monastery was founded in the early 2000s as part of the religious revival that followed the end of Soviet rule in Russia. It emerged during a period when Orthodox institutions began reopening and expanding across the country.
The monastery serves as a center where Orthodox believers gather regularly for prayers and ceremonies that shape the daily rhythm of the community. Visitors can observe how religious practices remain woven into the ordinary life of those who live and work here.
Visitors should check in advance about access times, as the monastery primarily serves religious practice and monastic life. The grounds may not be open to tourists on all days, so it is best to inquire about local visiting guidelines beforehand.
The monastery is dedicated to Saint Elias, a significant figure in Orthodox tradition, which shapes its spiritual focus and religious offerings. This dedication influences how the community learns about and practices their faith through its educational programs.
