Սուրբ Երրորդության եկեղեցի, Orthodox monastery in Taraskovo, Russia
The Holy Trinity Monastery is a male Orthodox monastery of the Nizhny Tagil diocese in the village of Taraskovo, Sverdlovsk Oblast. Its single-altar brick church, built of Verkh-Neyvinsk brick, was consecrated in 1906 in the name of the Holy Trinity. Inside the monastery walls stands a small wooden church consecrated in 2004 in honour of the icon of the Mother of God "Vsetsaritsa" above the revered spring.
The stone church was built in 1906 to replace an earlier wooden Holy Spirit church on the site. Following closure during the Soviet period in 1934, it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1989.
Since 2000 the monastery has kept the icon of the Mother of God "Vsetsaritsa" (Pantánassa), held to be wonder-working and drawing many pilgrims to Taraskovo. The most venerated of the village's healing springs, dedicated to the same icon, lies inside the monastery wall; a small wooden church was built over it in 2004 with the blessing of Archbishop Vikentiy. Each year an icon of the Mother of God "Znamenie" was carried in procession from Verkhny Tagil through Verkh-Neyvinsk to Taraskovo.
Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the grounds are unpaved and paths can become muddy in wet weather. The site is best visited during warmer months when access is easier and the springs are more accessible.
