"Road to the Temple" (Excursion to the Trinity-George convent)

In the depths of the Adler district of Sochi, in the valley of the small river Psakhe, in the mountains near the village of Lesnoye, the Trinity-Georgievsky convent was located, which became the spiritual center of the revival of Orthodoxy on the Black Sea coast. People come here to find peace and peace of mind in a quiet valley among the mountain peaks. There are 4 temples built on donations of parishioners. In the center of the monastery is the temple of the Holy Great Martyr Uar. The church is built in the architectural traditions of the temples of Vladimir-Suzdal land. The iconostasis of the temple includes a unique icon with the face of Christ. It was created in the 19th century. Above the central platform stands the temple of the icon of the Mother of God, the Seven Strelnaya. St. Mary froze with seven arrows in her hands, shot into the body of Jesus Christ. In honor of this image of a suffering woman, humanity is now creating cathedrals and temples. The temple amazes all parishioners with its amazing faience iconostasis created by Ural masters.
Very beautiful chapel "Satisfy my sorrows." It is built in the Moscow style of church architecture. The main decoration is considered a carved iconostasis of valuable wood species. In the monastery are stored particles of relics of their Kiev-Pechora Lavra. This is a gift made by the Moscow Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. From a tour of the monastery, tourists will learn about the history of Orthodoxy, about the sacrament of the church. The Inokines will tell them. Here you can light your candle for the best, luck, order a service, get married, take a baptism, bathe in a consecrated bath, take holy water with you, buy icons, crosses, spiritual literature and monastic souvenirs. The Trinity-Georgievsky Women’s Diocesan Monastery was founded in the mountain village of Lesnoye in 1999, on a small abandoned recreation center of a local reinforced concrete factory. The monastery is built on private donations. The architect of the monastery is Fyodor Ivanovich Afuksenidi, but the main inspirer is the abbess, Mother Anastasia. Thanks to her efforts, perseverance and patience, several interesting temples appeared here in a short time. Each of them is a work of art. The buildings are colorfully painted and look like fabulous towers. And that’s not all – the temples are different from each other, each has only its inherent feature. The construction of the first temple was started in 2000, this is the temple of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. Now on the territory of the monastery there are also the Church of the Hieromartyr Uar, there are only three such temples in our country, the chapel of the icon of the Mother of God “Satisfy my sorrows”, the construction of the temple of the icon of the Mother of God “Seven Arrow” and the reconstruction of the first monastery church, which became two-storey. Above the well there is a hay, which is also a bell tower. The plot of her decor is dedicated to the meeting of the Savior with a Samaritan woman. The water of the well is identical to the waters of Matsesta saturated with hydrogen sulfide, so it is planned to bring the water of another spring containing a lot of silver to the well. An excursion to this remote forest monastery will not leave anyone indifferent. There is also an opportunity to worship the legendary Orthodox shrines, which are one hundred percent likely to help people in the most serious problems. You just have to be able to handle them properly. It is also possible to learn this during your stay in the Trinity-Georgievsky convent.
A fascinating excursion story and a powerful impression of the architecture of the monastery and its shrines, which are perceived much deeper when you learn their secrets, their history, are guaranteed to be remembered for a long time.
