Museum of St. Matrona of Moscow

Matrona of Moscow is one of the most revered saints among the Orthodox Russians, and her homeland the village of Sebino is one of the main pilgrimage centers in the country. Despite the fact that the village is located 120 kilometers far from Tula, the flow of people here is not interrupted. The holy museum was built on the site where her home was, in which she received pilgrims till 1925, that is, till her moving to Moscow.
The exposition of the Museum of St. Matrona of Moscow refers not so much to Matrona herself, but to the life that surrounded her during her life in Sebino. Here, in addition to the biography of the saint, more than a hundred subjects are exhibited illustrating the life of the ordinary Sebino peasant of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Matrona herself. Peasant clothing, spinning wheels and other crafts, wicker chests and other household utensils and icons are exhibited. There are also two monuments linked with Matrona in Sebino: a closed font, on the walls of which the instructions of Matrona about how to bathe in holy water hung, and the Church of the Dormination of the Mother of God with aisle of Matrona of Moscow. And in it - an icon of the saint with a particle of her relics, a fragment of her coffin and a font in which she was baptized.
