The Resurrection Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Tolyatti, Russia
The Resurrection Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Tolyatti featuring multiple buildings with traditional Russian Orthodox architecture. The complex displays characteristic domed structures and religious symbols throughout its grounds.
The monastery was established on December 25, 1997, as a new spiritual center in Tolyatti. Its founding occurred during the period of religious revival in post-Soviet Russia.
The monastery preserves Orthodox Christian traditions through regular religious services that visitors can attend and experience. Monastic life follows strict spiritual rules that shape the daily rhythm of the place.
Visitors can attend daily services except on Thursdays, which is designated as a silent day for reflection and prayer. It is best to contact the monastery beforehand if you wish to arrange a guided tour of the grounds.
Monks at the monastery craft pure beeswax candles by hand, which they sell to support their religious work. This candle-making tradition serves both their own ceremonial needs and generates income for the community.
