Sretensky temple of the Pskov-Pechersk monastery
Description:
On the eastern side of the Assumption Cathedral is the Sretenskaya Church, striking with its beauty. It was built and consecrated in 1870, and the complex in which it belongs was laid in 1541 by Abbot Cornelius. This temple has three chapters and is built in two floors. The walls and ceiling inside are decorated with sacred images depicting biblical events. Outside, the walls are red, and the windows and corners are decorated with white patterns.
In the Sretensky Church there are two miraculous icons: “The Recovery of the Dead” and the Mother of God “The Trinity”. Also, the interior is rich in ancient utensils: forged candlesticks, lamps decorated with coinage. It has an unusually beautiful iconostasis decorated with gilded wooden columns and various carved patterns. In 2000, the temple was restored and its unique wall paintings restored.
On April 1, 2003, the relics of St. Simeon of Pskov-Pechersk were transferred to this church, which are now available to all believers. To visit this temple, women must take a headscarf with them and wear a long skirt.
