Holy Dormition Patriarchal monastery. Odessa

  Hello friends!  

The emergence of monasteries and temples always happens in some unusual way. Today we will talk about the Holy Dormition Patriarchal monastery, which is located on a cliff by the sea at the 16th station of the Big Fountain in Odessa. I think, all heard a lot about him, and many there even a deserved.

I love to visit this monastery. Here a sense of purity and Holiness. Love and Holiness in every temple, in every plant and in every corner of this magical place.

We can say that the spirit of the Holy miracle is everywhere. It envelops you from head to toe and cleanses your entire body.

Many years passed from the ancient structure to the modern one, everything changed in its time. Now we see what was created by several generations.

Once there was an unpleasant history near coast of Odessa with the Greek ship and people were lost. And the reason for the story, the usual fire that knocked the ship off course. The re was built on a rock at one of the rich people. Feeling guilty about what happened, in 1813, this man (A. Teutula), gave all his quays of the land of the Orthodox Church. And so began the history of our monastery, Odessa.

The new Cathedral "Life-giving spring" on the territory was built relatively recently. It consists of several floors.

The Cathedral was built in honor of the icon of the Mother of God. The upper floor is dedicated to the miraculous image of the Mother of God, and the lower floor is dedicated to the memory of the monk Kuksha of Odessa. Many Holy and blessed people lived here, live and help people to come to a spiritual balance.

Inhabitants of Odessa visit a monastery to get spiritual education and to touch shrines. And some come often, in order to relax both body and soul. Silence and singing of birds, beautiful nature-all this touches and calms.

Many come to honor the memory of the Siberian Jay of Odessa. His relics are in the assumption Cathedral. This man healed and comforted many. The bright memory of him.

Very famous Confessor of the monastery Archimandrite Jonah, who died in 2012, lives in the hearts of citizens and so many people. It was a man who raised the people and brought the spark of God into their lives. Jonah, you remember each Odessa!
