About object
In 2011, when the Arseniev diocese was established as part of the Primorsky Metropolis, a female monastic community was founded at the new cathedral of the city, consecrated in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos. Most of the sisters who made it up are natives of Primorye, but several nuns arrived in Arsenyev from the Moscow Novodevichy Bogoroditsen-Smolensk monastery.
Three more sisters came to Arseniev from a skete in the village of Novosysoevka. The skete is a house divided in two, in one half of which there is a temple, in the other - cells and a refectory. Here the nuns work in the garden, collect vegetables, and prepare canning. In Arsenyev, the sisters live in a small residential building in the courtyard of the Cathedral, in double cells.
The sisters, however few of them, maintain the strict lifestyle required by monastic dignity. From seven in the morning they are in the cathedral, praying for the services. Some are obedient in the choir or by candlelight, others are busy issues of improvement, cooking, sewing, accounting ... At four o'clock in the evening - service again, after it - dinner and again obedience.
The sisters participate in the work of the social department of the Arseniev diocese, helping people who find themselves in difficult life circumstances. In particular, women who were going to terminate their pregnancies, but after talking with a priest or nuns, abandoned the idea of having an abortion. Even on the territory of the small Arsenyev diocese, there are dozens or even hundreds of saved children's lives every year.
An integral part of the sisters' ministry is the preparation of the cathedral and its courtyard for the days of church holidays. Every year, shortly before the Nativity of Christ, an incredibly beautiful nativity scene made of spruce branches is built in the cathedral by their hands.
