Monastery of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary
Monastery of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Orthodox monastery in Zadonsk, Russia
This religious complex contains seven churches on the left bank of the Don River, with a central Vladimir Cathedral adorned with golden domes.
The monastery began its existence in 1610 when two monks from the Sretensky Monastery, Kirill and Gerasim, arrived with the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God.
The monastery maintains regular Orthodox services in Church Slavonic language, including morning prayers, liturgies, and special ceremonies during religious celebrations.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through the main office near the entrance.
The monastery houses the remains of Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk, who lived there from 1769 to 1783 and became a central figure in Russian Orthodox spirituality.
