Holy Dormition Monastery of Adrian Poshekhonsky

In the monastery, you can pray in front of the face of St. Adrian of Poshekhonsky. He was born at the beginning of the 16th century. He was a monk and asceticized in one of the Vologda monasteries. By the command of God, accompanied by the elder, Adrian and his disciple Leonid went to the dense forests of Poshonye. Some time later, in 1543, a church was built on this site in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Adrian was canonized for his righteous ascetic life and named a monk-martyr for his death. The Holy Dormition Poshekhonsky Adrian monastery in the XVIII century was one of the richest in the Yaroslavl province. It was abolished in 1918, and monks reappeared in the early 90s. Now it is the only preserved monastery complex in the Poshekhonsky district, which includes a number of valuable architectural monuments of the 18th and 19th centuries.
