Church of the Cathedral of Diveyevo Saints
- Orthodox church-chapel in Moscow, Patriarchal Metochion of the Seraphim-Diveevsky Monastery. The first temple in honor of the feast of the Council of Diveyevo Saints.
History[edit]
Foundation[edit]
In 1909, the hereditary Muscovite, the builder of the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral of the Diveevsky Monastery, Fyodor Vasilyevich Dolgintsev, bought a plot of land with buildings at 20 Mira Avenue for the Moscow courtyard. In 1911-1912, according to the design of the architect Peter Kharko, the building was rebuilt and a Chapel of St. Seraphim of Sarov. The chapel was decorated with an image of St. Seraphim and crowned with a dome with three domes.
In 1914-1915, in the depths of the courtyard, a three-story stone residential building for the sisters of the monastery was built, which has not survived to this day. 12 sisters lived permanently in the courtyard.
In 1929, the courtyard was closed and the building was significantly rebuilt.
Revival[edit]
Construction of the Moscow courtyard of the Diveyevo Monastery began in the late 1990s.
On July 25, 2002, a decree of Alexy II was issued on the revival of the Patriarchal Metochion of the Diveyevo Monastery. Due to the impossibility of transferring its historical building to the courtyard, the construction of a new building on the site between houses 22 and 24 on Mira Avenue was blessed. By 2004, the project was ready and was undergoing approval procedures.
In 2005, the Moscow Government allocated a site for the construction of buildings of the Patriarchal Metochion according to the approved project. In the same year, a temporary chapel was built on the construction site for prayers and reading the psalter, and commemorations for the Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery began to be accepted.
On May 16, 2008, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II, at the Moscow courtyard of the Diveyevo Monastery, Archbishop Georgy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas consecrated the foundation stone of the first church-chapel in honor of the new feast of the Synaxis of the Diveyevo Saints. The holiday is celebrated on June 27, the day after the celebration of the day of memory of the founder of the Diveyevo monastery, Mother Alexandra.
The author of the project was Alexander Shipkov, Honored Architect of the Russian Federation, member of the Union of Architects of Russia since 1962, academician of the international organization Northern Forum.
In November 2008, work began on the three-tier iconostasis. In July 2009, work was carried out to create mosaic icons for placement on the outside of the walls.
On the night of February 1–2, Archbishop George celebrated the first Divine Liturgy at a temporary antimension. On February 5, 2011, Archbishop George, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', performed the rite of minor consecration of the throne. By this time, construction work on the temple was still ongoing.
On June 18, 2011, Archbishop Georgy consecrated a chapel in honor of St. Seraphim of Sarov, located in the inner chambers on the second floor.
On September 24, Metropolitan Georgy performed the rite of consecration of the bells, which had already been raised to the bell tower of the courtyard.
Story
In 1758, a wealthy landowner from the Ryazan region, Agafya Melgunova, came to Kyiv. At the age of 30 she was widowed, and her 9-year-old daughter later died. Then the woman decided to take the spiritual path. At the Kiev-Florovsky Monastery, she took monastic vows and became Mother Alexandra. Once, while staying in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, after night prayer, she had a vision of the Most Holy Theotokos. She ordered Alexandra to go around all the Great Russian places in the north of Russia and, where the Mother of God indicated, to found a new holy monastery. The elders of the Lavra accepted the nun’s vision as true and, giving a blessing, sent her on a long and difficult journey through Rus'.
And so, when Mother Alexandra headed to the Sarov Desert from Murom in 1760, she stopped to rest in the village of Diveevo. She again saw the Mother of God indicating that this was the place allotted to the nun to found a monastery and serve God until the end of her life. From this moment the history of the Diveyevo Monastery begins.
Just four years later, here, next to the wooden Stefanovo Church, the foundation of the Kazan Church was laid at the nun’s own expense. And in 1780 the church was consecrated. It had two altars (or chapels). The left one was built in honor of St. Nicholas, and the right one - (by God's direction) in memory of the first martyr Archdeacon Stephen.
Initially, the Kazan Church was a parish church. However, Father Seraphim (Sarov) foresaw that this would be a monastery cathedral. And in 1788, Mother Alexandra, with the blessing of the Sarov elders, received almost 2.5 thousand square meters from a local landowner. m of estate land near the temple. A large house with outbuildings was built there. Four more novices settled in it together with Mother Alexandra. Over the years the community grew. In 1789, Seraphim of Sarov, who then still held the rank of hierodeacon, took charge of her. And in 1826, with his blessing, the Mill community was established, located not far from Kazan.
Shrines[edit]
Interior decoration
- Icon of the Mother of God “Tenderness” of the Diveyevo letter, preserved from the previous courtyard
- icon of St. Seraphim, also from Diveyevo, with a piece of stone on which the monk performed his feat
- ark with the relics of the Diveyevo saints: St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. Alexandra, St. Martha, St. Elena, darling. Pelagia, Paraskeva, Mary, Rev. Matrons, prpmts. Evdokia, mcc. Daria, Daria, Maria. Also in the temple there are reliquaries containing particles of the relics of various saints
Blagoveshchensky cathedral
In 2012, a decision was made to build a new church in the name of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This was done according to the behest of Seraphim of Sarov. Attempts were made a century ago, but then the place indicated by the elder was occupied. There stood the Tikhvin Church, founded by Ivan Tolstosheev, a false disciple of Father Seraphim, a persecutor of the sisters of the Diveyevo Monastery. After the revolution, a steam mill was built in it. A year later it burned down, and in its place a brick canteen was built for a boarding school. In 2011, the boarding school was moved to the village of Satis. And the place for the construction of the temple was freed.
According to the plan, its dimensions are determined by the sacred relic Belt of the Virgin Mary: 20 belts in width (24 m), 30 in length (36 m) and 50 in height (60 m). The temple of the Zaikonospassky Monastery in the Moscow Baroque style of the 18th century was taken as the basis. Snow-white walls, a steel roof, a golden dome and eight side chapels - this is exactly how the temple will appear to parishioners.
How to get there for pilgrims
It has long been no longer a secret for pilgrims to know where the Diveyevo Monastery is located and what services and celebrations take place there. It is located approximately 180 km from Nizhny Novgorod and one part borders Mordovia.
According to historical data, this land was previously inhabited by Mordovian tribes. But Ivan the Terrible ousted them in the struggle for the Kazan Khanate. Then the city of Arzamas and villages in the area were formed. Diveevo got its name from the Tatar Murza Diveya, who acted on the side of the tsarist troops.
From the south it is more convenient to get to the Diveyevo monastery through Ryazan or Saransk, from the east - from Samara through Penza or Ulyanovsk.
Buses run from Arzamas and Nizhny Novgorod to Diveevo. If you get from Nizhny Novgorod, you will have to spend almost 4 hours on the road. To do this, from the bus station located on Lyadov Square, you need to transfer to a bus going to Diveevo. It should be remembered that such flights are not daily, so if necessary, you can make a transfer in Arzamas. Pilgrims going to the Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery from Moscow in their own car are better off driving along the highway passing through Balashikha towards Vladimir, then turning onto Murom, and then driving through the cities of Navashino and Ardatov to Diveevo. Address of the Diveevo Monastery: Nizhny Novgorod region, village of Diveevo, Diveevo district. Every local resident of the region knows where it is located. Therefore, difficulties with the search are simply impossible. The diocese organizes trips for those wishing to visit the monastery three times a week (from Nizhny Novgorod); single trips are provided for pensioners, veterans and the disabled.
Where to stay in Diveevo
There are many hotels for pilgrims around the monastery; by the way, you can book a room through Booking; here in the village it is especially popular even in the private sector. Prices vary from 1 thousand rubles to 2.5 thousand per day. You can, of course, find luxury apartments, there are a lot of offers and options. Our company did not plan to stay overnight, so I did not delve into this issue particularly deeply.
On the territory of the monastery itself there is a Pilgrim's House - you can also stay very comfortably there, plus free lunch in the monastery refectory (this is already a marketing ploy). Speaking of food...
If you, like me, are just a tourist, but have arrived for the morning liturgy and are not going to receive Holy Communion, I warn you right away! Be sure to take breakfast with you! Because the first shops, shops, refectories and, in general, any opportunity to have a snack in the monastery and the surrounding area will appear at approximately 7-8 in the morning. I extremely regretted that I didn’t take anything with me and therefore I was even a little ashamed that in such a place in my head thoughts of an empty stomach kept flying through my mind!
How to get to Diveevo from Moscow (Balashikha) by car - road
I was lucky, I “took on the tail” of my friends who were traveling by car from Balashikha.
The departure, however, was scheduled for 2:30 a.m., since the guys wanted to attend the morning service (at least partially), which, according to the monastery charter, begins at 5:30.
Of course, at 3 in the morning the Gorkovskoye Highway is without traffic jams and for about 150 kilometers you can enjoy a clear road and good asphalt.
Next, the navigator invites you to turn off the highway to Murom and, let’s say, typical Russia begins.
The road passes through a bunch of villages with those very beautiful wooden huts with carved palisades on the windows. There are abandoned huts, and there are also beautiful attractive houses.
As a passenger, I had the opportunity to look around... There are forests around the villages, and they are dense and even seem somehow impenetrable. The road is quite narrow, of poor quality, there are a lot of potholes and, in fact, potholes. There are practically no oncoming cars; the column stretches towards Diveevo. It’s starting to get light, the morning fog is spreading across the fields, in general, the beauty of Russian nature is just like in the picture.
How many hours to go
Closer to Diveevo, the road becomes even worse, there is a hole in the hole, but since there are a lot of cars ahead (especially if it is a day off), the flow speed is low and an experienced driver will cope with the task. The whole journey took us about 5 hours, due to the quality of the road (or rather not the quality!) not at all as we had originally expected...
There are many parking lots near the monastery, some paid and some not. Free ones are ordinary city ones along the sidewalks; in general, you can find a place for a car without any problems. The cost of a parking space is 200-250 rubles per day.
Where to eat and cost of travel
After attending the liturgy and walking around the monastery, you will have a serious appetite. On the territory of the monastery there is a refectory and many shops with bakery products, there is a cafe and even a pancake house! The prices are very reasonable, buns cost from 30 rubles, there are gingerbreads, juices, shortcakes and pies. Everything on the shelves looks very appetizing, but I am a responsible tourist, I don’t indulge in buns and prefer a full lunch. In addition, everyone knows about the special taste of monastery food, carefully prepared by the hands of novices.
The refectory of the monastery is spacious, but due to the huge flow of tourists, there is a queue for distribution. The menu is standard: first course (several options), salads, second course, compotes, tea, coffee and the same pastries. The selection is generally good, very clean! There are all the conditions for an excellent lunch, only queues... The refectory is open from 9 am to 8 pm, it is possible to order set lunches, but as I understand it, it is for excursion groups. The pricing policy is more than budget, you can have a good lunch for 250 - 300 rubles. And yes, the monastery food is amazingly tasty, even somehow special...
