Zhyrovichy Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Zhyrovichy, Belarus
The monastery complex contains three churches, including the Dormition Cathedral, with its combination of Baroque and Classical architectural elements spanning 55 meters in length.
Founded in 1520, the monastery emerged at the location where shepherds reportedly discovered a miraculous icon of the Mother of God in a pear tree.
The three-tiered wooden iconostasis from the 18th century forms the central decorative element of the Dormition Cathedral interior, complemented by detailed frescoes.
The monastery grounds include living quarters, seminary buildings, an orchard, and gardens, making it the largest religious center in Belarus.
The Zhyrovichy icon measures only 5.7 centimeters in height and represents one of the smallest venerated Orthodox images in the world.
