Poshchupovo Monastery
Poshchupovo Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Rybnovsky District, Russia
The Saint John the Theologian Monastery stands on the right bank of the Oka River, 25 kilometers north of Ryazan in Poshchupovo village.
Greek missionary monks established this religious complex at the end of the 12th century, bringing a miraculous Byzantine icon of Saint John from Constantinople.
The monastery library maintains extensive collections of 17th-century books, manuscripts about Russian Church history, and contemporary publications about theology and philosophy.
Daily services begin at 5:30 AM with morning prayers and continue until evening services at 6:00 PM, with special celebrations on religious holidays.
The monastery includes ancient caves, a holy spring, and various workshops producing honey, dairy products, bread, and ceramics within its self-sufficient complex.
