Sharovkin Assumption Convent Sharovkin Assumption Convent In the village of Ilyinskoye, Kaluga Region, on the right bank of the Zhizdra, there is the Sharovkin Monastery of the Assumption of the Mother of God, leading its history from the beginning of the 16th century. It was then that the monk Theognost Shvrovka settled in this place, around whom a small fraternal community soon gathered. The owner of these lands, Prince Alexander Vorotynsky, patronized the monks - and over time, instead of the wooden Church of the Assumption, a white-stone church grew up by his labors. His brother, Prince Michael also donated to the monastery - with his donations the churches of St. Sergius of Radonezh the Wonderworker and the Apostle John the Theologian were built. Subsequently, the monastery was given land, church vestments and liturgical utensils by Russian tsars, tsaritsa and many boyars. In the 17th century, the monastery flourished.

However, the 18th century, the 'age of enlightenment,' turned out to be unmerciful to the holy monastery. The monastery has become supernumerary. After the devastating fire of 1776, the abbot and the brethren moved to another monastery, and the surviving Sharovkin churches began to function as parish churches. The Cathedral of the Assumption, which had been rebuilt more than once, was closed in 1937 - and its the rector, Father John Zhukov, was shot on the feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. The temple was plundered and desecrated - inside the church walls, the new 'masters of life' kept cattle ... On Christmas 2016, sisters from the Nikolsky Chernoostrovsky Monastery in the town of Maloyaroslavets arrived in the village of Ilyinskoye. Through their selfless labors and prayers to the Mother of God, the Sharovkin Assumption Monastery gradually began to revive. As the life of the sisters improved in the new place, the face on the venerated icon of the monastery - the image of the Mother of God “Blessed Heaven”, brightened. Believers were drawn to the reviving monastery: someone - to venerate the holy image, someone - to help in the good cause of the restoration of the historical monastery. Every year, the miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos 'Kaluga' is brought to the Sharovkin Monastery, which is being restored by the efforts of nuns and laborers. Sisters of the holy monastery and pilgrims from Orthodox summer camps pray in front of it at night - at this time of day, the believers say, the prayer comes out especially concentrated and heartfelt.
