Holy Trinity Selenga Monastery

- a male Orthodox monastery in the village of Troitskoye, Pribaikalsky district of the Republic of Buryatia. Located 81 km northwest of Ulan-Ude on the left bank of the Selenga River. The first Orthodox monastery in Transbaikalia. Founded in 1681. There is a hotel at the monastery. Belongs to the Monastic Deanery of the Ulan-Ude Diocese of the Buryat Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church.

History[edit]

The first Holy Trinity Selenginsky monastery in Transbaikalia was founded by decree of Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich by members of the Daurian spiritual mission in 1681. The head of the mission, Abbot Theodosius, Hieromonk Macarius and with them 10 monks, having founded a monastery in 1683 on the site of an old monastery building (built earlier by the Nerchinsk Cossacks), already in 1684 they erected the first monastery church in the name of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity. Later, as the monastery developed, churches of St. Archangel Michael, All Saints, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker were erected in it.

The main task of the newly formed monastery was to preach Christianity among local peoples, as well as the spiritual nourishment of immigrants from Russia. At first it was made of wood, had strong protective walls and was a powerful fortification. Later, wooden buildings were replaced by stone ones.

The administrative, cultural and moral significance of the monastery for the history of the region was decisive. Being an outpost of Russia beyond Lake Baikal, located at the crossroads of all roads going from East to West, and from North to South, the monastery quickly flourished and was the largest monastery of that time. It was visited by many outstanding religious, political, and government figures, for example: great-grandfather A.S. Pushkin - A.P. Hannibal, godson of Peter I, future Emperor of Russia Tsarevich Nicholas II Alexandrovich, who presented the monastery with a “silver-gilded” altar cross. For a long time, the greatest spiritual luminary of Siberia, Innocent of Irkutsk (Kulchitsky), lived in the Trinity Monastery, who was awaiting departure to China and had here as his confessor Archimandrite Misail, one of the members of the Daurian spiritual mission. According to legend, a spring consecrated by the saint has been preserved on the territory of the monastery.

In 1920 the monastery was closed. In Soviet times, there was first a colony here, and later a psychiatric hospital. In December 2006, the entire complex of monastery buildings was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church, and the revival of the monastery began.

Shrines

At the beginning of the century, among the revered shrines of the monastery were [8]:

• miraculous Mozhaisk image of St. Nicholas Peace of Lycia - miraculously revealed on the island of Lake Kotokel in the 2nd half of the 18th century, he was especially revered by residents along the Barguzinsky tract and the entire district, he was often invited to villages and fields to perform prayer singing before him
• image of a military commander Panteleimon the Healer - an exact copy of the miraculous image from the Holy Mount Athos, from where it was sent at the request of the former abbot of the Selenga monastery - the Athonite tonsure of Archimandrite Michael in 1883.
• image of the Holy Life-Giving Cross - silver-gilded, enameled altarpiece, highly artistic work, gift to the monastery from the holy sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich on June 21, 1891.
• the image of the Holy Life-Giving Cross - silver-gilded, ancient, with many particles of the Life-Giving Tree and relics of saints, a gift from the monastery of Emperor Theodore Alekseevich, with the Holy Gospel and vessels, etc. things
• Two altarpieces of the Holy Cross - antique silver, with particles of relics (decrepit)
• a copy of the icon of the Mother of God of All Who Sorrow - Joy of All Who Sorrow - stood out for its splendor among the images in the Trinity Church; in 2009-2010, one of the residents of Ilyinka donated to the temple a blackened icon of the Mother of God of All Who Sorrow, Joy of All Who Sorrow - perhaps the same one; soon the image was renewed in the monastery [9]
• Two old vessels and two Gospels (one of the Gospels lay on a special stand in the Trinity Church: festive, on Alexandrian paper, covers and tucks made of forged silver with gilding, several leaves in the middle were also silver; the weight of the silver was 537 grams); silver tabernacle, weighing 6 pounds; one miter, remarkable for its ancient simplicity (in all likelihood, Father Archimandrite Misail); Of the vestments of the first time, one is remarkable - embroidered with gold, brocade and silver - donated by Queen Martha Matveevna herself to the first abbot Theodosius

Economic activities of the monastery

At the beginning of the 18th century, the monastery was a major economic center in Transbaikalia. He owned 1,500 acres of land on the coast of Lake Baikal, in the lower reaches of the Selenga and its tributaries. In 1723, 5 villages were assigned to the monastery: Temlyui, Buy, Kunaley, Elan, Khilotskaya Sloboda, with a total of 84 households[2].

By decree of November 27, 1713, the Selenginsky Monastery transferred Prorva Bay to the Posolsky Monastery, and in return in 1714 it received “for eternal possession” Lake Kotokel with the rivers flowing into it[3]. In addition, the rivers Mostovka, Cheremkhovaya, Golaya, Turka, Kotochik and Istok were assigned to the monastery. These possessions were located at a distance of 130-140 versts northeast of the monastery. The monastery also owned the coastal strip along Lake Baikal from Selenga to the northeast. All these possessions remained with the monastery until the beginning of the 20th century.

The main source of income for the Trinity Monastery was fishing. Fishing facilities were rented out. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, more than thirty species of fish were found in Lake Baikal and the rivers adjacent to it on the eastern side. The annual profit of the Selenginsky monastery from its sale amounted to 40 thousand rubles. Fisheries declined catastrophically in the 1880s due to predatory fishing.

The monastery owned large lands. He owned Timlyuyskaya, Khilotskaya and Kudarinskaya estates, estates in Irkutsk, Kyakhta, Selenginsk. By the 1730s, the monastery had about 1.5 thousand acres of land. There were 529 monastic peasants (according to other sources, 334). In total there were about 10 villages where the peasants of the Selenginsky monastery lived. They were located along the rivers Khilok, Bui and Kunaley in the Tarbagatai volost. At the beginning of the 20th century, the monastery, according to various sources, owned 80-114 acres of land.

In addition to land, the monastery owned salt pans north of Selenginsk. Monastery peasants worked at the plant[4].

An excerpt characterizing the Holy Trinity Selenga Monastery

– What does this mean: my eye hurt, and now I’m looking at both? - said Pierre. “The count had barley,” said the adjutant, smiling, “and he was very worried when I told him that people had come to ask what was wrong with him.” “And what, count,” the adjutant suddenly said, turning to Pierre with a smile, “we heard that you have family worries?” What if the countess, your wife... “I didn’t hear anything,” Pierre said indifferently. -What did you hear? - No, you know, they often make things up. I say I heard. -What did you hear? “Yes, they say,” the adjutant said again with the same smile, “that the countess, your wife, is going abroad.” Probably nonsense... “Maybe,” said Pierre, looking around him absentmindedly. - And who is this? - he asked, pointing to a short old man in a pure blue coat, with a large beard as white as snow, the same eyebrows and a ruddy face. - This? This is one merchant, that is, he is an innkeeper, Vereshchagin. Have you heard perhaps this story about the proclamation? - Oh, so this is Vereshchagin! - said Pierre, peering into the firm and calm face of the old merchant and looking for an expression of treason in it. - This is not him. This is the father of the one who wrote the proclamation,” said the adjutant. “He’s young, he’s sitting in a hole, and he seems to be in trouble.” One old man, wearing a star, and another, a German official, with a cross on his neck, approached the people talking. “You see,” said the adjutant, “this is a complicated story. Then, two months ago, this proclamation appeared. They informed the Count. He ordered an investigation. So Gavrilo Ivanovich was looking for him, this proclamation was in exactly sixty-three hands. He will come to one thing: from whom do you get it? - That’s why. He goes to that one: who are you from? etc. we got to Vereshchagin... a half-trained merchant, you know, a little merchant, my dear,” the adjutant said, smiling. - They ask him: who do you get it from? And the main thing is that we know from whom it comes. He has no one else to rely on other than the postal director. But apparently there was a strike between them. He says: not from anyone, I composed it myself. And they threatened and begged, so he settled on it: he composed it himself. So they reported to the count. The count ordered to call him. “Who is your proclamation from?” - “I composed it myself.” Well, you know the Count! – the adjutant said with a proud and cheerful smile. - He flared up terribly, and just think: such impudence, lies and stubbornness!.. - Ah! The Count needed him to point to Klyucharyov, I understand! - said Pierre. “It’s not necessary at all,” the adjutant said fearfully. – Klyucharyov had sins even without this, for which he was exiled. But the fact is that the count was very indignant. “How could you compose? - says the count. I took this “Hamburg newspaper” from the table. - Here she is. You didn’t compose it, but translated it, and you translated it badly, because you don’t even know French, you fool.” What do you think? “No,” he says, “I didn’t read any newspapers, I made them up.” - “And if so, then you are a traitor, and I will bring you to trial, and you will be hanged. Tell me, from whom did you receive it? - “I haven’t seen any newspapers, but I made them up.” It remains that way. The Count also called on his father: stand his ground. And they put him on trial and, it seems, sentenced him to hard labor. Now his father came to ask for him. But he's a crappy boy! You know, such a merchant's son, a dandy, a seducer, listened to lectures somewhere and already thinks that the devil is not his brother. After all, what a young man he is! His father has a tavern here near the Stone Bridge, so in the tavern, you know, there is a large image of the Almighty God and a scepter is presented in one hand, and an orb in the other; so he took this image home for several days and what did he do! I found a scoundrel painter... In the middle of this new story, Pierre was called to the commander-in-chief. Pierre entered Count Rastopchin's office. Rastopchin, wincing, rubbed his forehead and eyes with his hand, while Pierre entered. The short man was saying something and, as soon as Pierre entered, he fell silent and left. - A! “Hello, great warrior,” said Rostopchin as soon as this man came out. – We’ve heard about your prouesses [glorious exploits]! But that's not the point. Mon cher, entre nous, [Between us, my dear,] are you a Freemason? - said Count Rastopchin in a stern tone, as if there was something bad in this, but that he intended to forgive. Pierre was silent. - Mon cher, je suis bien informe, [I, my dear, know everything well,] but I know that there are Freemasons and Freemasons, and I hope that you do not belong to those who, under the guise of saving the human race, want to destroy Russia. “Yes, I’m a Freemason,” answered Pierre. - Well, you see, my dear. You, I think, are not unaware that Messrs. Speransky and Magnitsky have been sent where they should be; the same was done with Mr. Klyucharyov, the same with others who, under the guise of building the temple of Solomon, tried to destroy the temple of their fatherland. You can understand that there are reasons for this and that I could not exile the local postal director if he were not a harmful person. Now I know that you sent him yours. crew for the rise from the city and even that you accepted papers from him for safekeeping. I love you and do not wish you harm, and since you are twice my age, I, as a father, advise you to stop all relations with this kind of people and leave here yourself as soon as possible. - But what, Count, is Klyucharyov’s fault? asked Pierre. “It’s my business to know and not yours to ask me,” cried Rostopchin. “If he is accused of distributing Napoleon’s proclamations, then this has not been proven,” said Pierre (without looking at Rastopchin), “and Vereshchagin...” “Nous y voila, [It is so,”] - suddenly frowning, interrupting Pierre , Rostopchin screamed even louder than before. “Vereshchagin is a traitor and a traitor who will receive a well-deserved execution,” said Rostopchin with that fervor of anger with which people speak when remembering an insult. - But I did not call you in order to discuss my affairs, but in order to give you advice or orders, if you want it. I ask you to stop relations with gentlemen like Klyucharyov and get out of here. And I'll beat the crap out of whoever it is. - And, probably realizing that he seemed to be shouting at Bezukhov, who had not yet been guilty of anything, he added, taking Pierre by the hand in a friendly manner: - Nous sommes a la veille d'un desastre publique, et je n'ai pas le temps de dire des gentillesses a tous ceux qui ont affaire a moi. My head is spinning sometimes! Eh! bien, mon cher, qu'est ce que vous faites, vous personnellement? [We are on the eve of a general disaster, and I have no time to be polite to everyone with whom I have business. So, my dear, what are you doing, you personally?] “Mais rien, [Yes, nothing,” answered Pierre, still without raising his eyes and without changing the expression of his thoughtful face. The Count frowned. - Un conseil d'ami, mon cher. Decampez et au plutot, c'est tout ce que je vous dis. A bon entendeur salut! Goodbye, my dear. “Oh, yes,” he shouted to him from the door, “is it true that the countess fell into the clutches of des saints peres de la Societe de Jesus?” [Friendly advice. Get out quickly, that's what I tell you. Blessed is he who knows how to obey!.. the holy fathers of the Society of Jesus?] Pierre did not answer anything and, frowning and angry as he had never been seen, left Rostopchin. When he arrived home, it was already getting dark. About eight different people visited him that evening. Secretary of the committee, colonel of his battalion, manager, butler and various petitioners. Everyone had matters before Pierre that he had to resolve. Pierre did not understand anything, was not interested in these matters and gave only answers to all questions that would free him from these people. Finally, left alone, he printed out and read his wife’s letter.
