"Raifa, God Protected"

"When the heart is heavy and cold in the chest ..." - then immediately comes the saving thought: Raifa!

Of course, only she is warm, calm, soothing.

Just 20 km from Kazan, then 4 km of a winding road through a protected forest, a quiet lake, trees standing in the water, the miraculous Georgian icon of the Mother of God - and after an hour you are a completely different person, and a smile does not come off your face.

Some people consider Raifa Monastery to be a “court monastery”, but you need to know the history of Raifa, and then you already look at the monastery with completely different eyes.
