Kutseinski Bohai︠a︡ŭlenski manastyr

Kutseinski Bohai︠a︡ŭlenski manastyr, Orthodox monastery in Orsha, Belarus.

Kutseinski Bohai︠a︡ŭlenski monastery sits where the Dnieper and Kuteyinka rivers meet on the northwestern edge of Orsha. The complex includes a reconstructed Holy Trinity Church and other structures that form a functioning monastic community.

In 1620 Patriarch Theophanes of Jerusalem granted the Orthodox of Orsha a charter for a men's monastery, and Bogdan Stetkevich funded it in 1623 under hegumen Ioil Trutsevich. The community grew to about 200 monks and was called a lavra. From 1630 Spiridon Sobol ran a printing house that issued some 27 books, including a 1631 primer, before the equipment was moved in 1655.

The monastery's name comes from the Kuteyinka river at its foot. Its most venerated image, the Orshanskaya Mother of God, appeared near the walls in 1631; the original is lost, but copies are kept locally. Feast days honour Saints Athanasius of Brest and George Konissky, and the Orshanskaya icon is commemorated on 2 August and 18 September.

The monastery is roughly 1.7 miles from central Orsha and welcomes visitors year-round. Wear comfortable shoes and dress respectfully, as this is an active place of worship where religious services take place regularly.

The monastery's printing house, run by Spiridon Sobol from 1630, produced 27 books, including a 1631 primer that first used the word "bukvar". In 1656 Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich visited and had its best woodcarvers and engravers sent to Moscow's Armoury Chamber.
