Mary Magdalene Monastery, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Vilnius, Lithuania
The monastery complex includes a church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene and serves as the only women's religious institution in the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Lithuania.
Tsar Alexander II ordered the establishment of the monastery in 1864, during the period of Russian influence in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth territory.
The monastic community maintains traditions through workshops focused on creating liturgical vestments and religious art, contributing to Orthodox spiritual practices in Lithuania.
Located near the Church of Saint Alexander Nevsky, the monastery returned to its original site in 2015 after spending several decades at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit.
The monastery operated an orphanage from its inception in 1865, with the first group of nuns arriving from the Saint Alexis Convent in Moscow.
