Ust-Medveditskaya Transfiguration Monastery
Ust-Medveditskaya Transfiguration Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Serafimovich, Russia.
The Ust-Medveditskaya Transfiguration Monastery features a Kazan Icon church and underground caves with stone passages extending beneath the main structures.
Established between 1652 and 1662 under Patriarch Nikon's blessing as a male monastery, it transformed into a women's monastery in 1785.
The monastery contains underground passages representing the final days of Christ's life, divided into the Savior's Path and the Mother of God's Path.
The monastery maintains a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius throughout the year and welcomes visitors for religious services and cave explorations.
A stone slab within the caves bears imprints believed to be from Abbess Arsenia's hands and feet during her prayer sessions.
