“A piece of Heaven on Far Eastern soil”: that is what the sisters call their convent, which stands in a picturesque spot on the shore of Lake Petropavlovskoye. The bell tower offers a breathtaking view of the lake's blue waters, emerald forests, and endless open plains. The idea of founding a monastery in the Amur region goes back to St. Innocent (Veniaminov). It began to take shape under Bishop Makary (Darsky), who invited Hieromonk Alexy (Oskolkov) from Mount Athos. In 1894 Hieromonk Alexy began searching for a site for the monastery, but the chosen place flooded and a new one had to be found. The modern convent was founded in 2001 under Bishop Mark (Tuzhikov). Today it is a flourishing community with churches, workshops, and farm buildings.

The Architecture of Mercy

A special place on the convent grounds belongs to the chapel dedicated to the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice.”

The Light of Spiritual Healing

The chapel's spiritual significance lies in the fact that it has become a center of support for those struggling with addictions. Metropolitan Ignatius of Khabarovsk and Priamurye emphasized the importance of this place, noting that people come here to pray and find strength in fighting their affliction.

A Stone of Faith Raised by the Healed

The chapel's symbolic meaning is deepened by the fact that it was built by craftsmen who had themselves once been healed. It has become a symbol of hope and rebirth for many people seeking help and support in overcoming their addictions. The chapel is not just an architectural feature of the convent but a true center of spiritual support for those in need of healing of soul and body.
