Holy Spirit convent
ooh Tolstoy, 15, Vitebsk, Belarus
Description:
In 1923, after the revolution, the church was closed, and later, in the late fifties - and completely destroyed.
In 2001 the monastery was revived by the decision of the Synod of the Belarusian Orthodox Church.
In 2009-10 years to the main building, built in the XIX - early XX centuries, a two-storey building was added. In 2010-12, a new single-domed church of the Holy Spirit was built on the territory of the monastery. On November 24, 2012, it was consecrated by Archbishop Dimitri of Vitebsk and Orsha.
The territory of the monastery is landscaped. The cells of the nuns, the refectory and the house church in honor of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Princess Olga are located in the buildings of the complex of the cultural and spiritual center at the foot of the Assumption Mountain on Tolstoy Street.
