Voznesenskaya Davidova Pustyn
Voznesenskaya Davidova Pustyn, Orthodox monastery in Noviy Byt, Russia
Voznesenskaya Davidova Pustyn is an Orthodox monastery located along the Lopasnya River in the region south of Moscow. The grounds feature several churches, residential buildings for monks, and facilities for pilgrims seeking spiritual contemplation.
The monastery was founded in 1515 by Saint David of Serpukhov, who selected this location for a religious community. Over centuries, it grew into an important pilgrimage destination in the region.
This monastery serves as an active center of spiritual life where daily services shape the rhythm of the community. Visitors can observe religious practices and rituals that continue to define how this place functions.
The monastery is accessible by car and offers accommodations for visitors who wish to stay longer. There are educational programs for children and regular tours available to help guests understand the site's history and current activities.
In the nearby village of Talezh stands a spring consecrated in honor of Saint David that has supplied pilgrims with water for centuries. This spring remains a separate place of worship and spiritual visitation alongside the main monastery.
