The Protecting Veil of the Holy Mother of God (Intercession) church'Вверх по структуре / UpНазад / BackВерсия для печати / Print version

In 1996 sisters themselves prepared the Protecting Veil of the Holy Mother of God (Intercession) church for sanctification, that had been in desolation and ruin for many years. For this purpose it was necessary to disassemble and take out numerous internal partitions constructed during the Soviet period, and the most difficult was to clear walls and vaults of paint and whitewashing, totaling up to 12 layers which covered picturesque wall-paintings of the XIXth century. With the help of the parish works were finished within only 2-3 months, and a temporary iconostas was established. To everyone's pleasure, the Protecting Veil of the Holy Mother of God (Intercession) church was consecrated by Metropolitan Yuvenaly and the first divine service took place on October 14, 1996. Now a carved iconostas from mahogany - a gift of B.V.Gromov, Governor of the Moscow region, decorates the church. The project of the iconostas was worked out by icon-painting workshop of the convent.

Divine services are conducted in the church according to monastic regulations. On Tuesdays water-sanctifying prayers are performed with reading of the acathistus to Blessed Matron of Moscow. There is also an icon of this saint with a piece of her holy relics in the church – a blessing of the Most Holy Patriarch Alexy.
