Monastery of the Theotokos of the Sign
Monastery of the Theotokos of the Sign, Orthodox monastery in Kursk, Russia.
The white-walled monastery complex includes multiple churches, a bell tower, and dormitory buildings arranged around a central courtyard near the Tuskar River.
The monastery was established in 1597 following the discovery of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God, which was found near a tree root in 1295.
The monastery maintains regular religious services, hosts important Orthodox ceremonies, and preserves a collection of religious manuscripts dating from the 17th century.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in Russian through the monastery office.
A spring of water emerged at the site where the Kursk Root Icon was discovered, leading to the construction of the Life-bearing Spring Church within the monastery complex.
