Annunciation Monastery of Saint Jonah Yashezersky
Annunciation Monastery of Saint Jonah Yashezersky, Orthodox monastery in Yashezero, Russia
The Annunciation Monastery stands on the western shore of Lake Yashezero, featuring traditional Russian ecclesiastical architecture with intricate gates and tower structures.
Founded in 1562, the monastery began with eight monks joining Saint Jonah, who established the religious community and constructed a wooden church for the Annunciation.
Saint Jonah crafted wooden vessels for divine services while the monastery received numerous Church service books from pilgrims throughout the sixteenth century.
The monastery operates under the Petrozavodsk Eparchy and maintains regular religious services, accepting visitors interested in Eastern Orthodox traditions.
Saint Jonah dug a channel near the monastery to improve fishing conditions, demonstrating the integration of practical sustenance with spiritual development.
