Tour to Atchair Convent by car (4 hours)

In Old Russia monasteries and convents were centers of people's cultural and spiritual life. The history of Atchair Convent dates back to 1905, when St. Ivan Kronshtadtsky blessed the site near a Cossack village Atchair for building a convent. In the 30s of the past century the convent was closed and its territory became a part of GULAG. About 200 thousands prisoners died there of hunger, cold and hard labor. In several days after Stalin's death in 1953 GULAG had been disbanded and all cathedrals exploded. The rebirth of the convent began in 1992 after His Eminence Feodosy had blessed it.

The program acquaints the tourists with the Atchair Convent foundation history and with the building tactics of Orthodox churches and chapels. The tourists will be able to wash their hands and faces in a sanctified mineral spring and will indeed become absorbed in the life of people who devoted their life to God for a few hours. If a religious service is conducted, the tourists will have chance to visit it and hear divine choral singing.
