Our Lady of Kazan Convent: the Return after 80 Years of Oblivion

Architectural Monuments • Temples and places of worship • Abbeys and Monasteries • Other places

The history of foundation of Our Lady of Kazan Convent is connected with the legend of a miraculous icon, a copy of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan. Brought from Kazan to the town of Tutayev, and then to Yaroslavl, the shrine, which was credited with numerous miraculous healings, was placed in a wooden temple created in honor of it in 1610. Total of 72 nuns from the Nativity Convent, ravaged by Polish-Lithuanian invaders, settled here. So was established Our Lady of Kazan Convent.

In 1835, a stone Kazan Cathedral was built instead of a wooden church in the territory of the Kazan Convent. Meanwhile, the convent expanded and in 1910, to its 300th anniversary, it was known outside Yaroslavl thanks to the icon-painting and gold embroidery skills of nuns. In 1918 the monastery was abolished and the icon disappeared. Later a library, a school and a planetarium were arranged in the building of the Kazan Cathedral. The convent was reopened precisely 80 years after the abolishment. It keeps the relics of St. Agafangel, the sainted Metropolitan of Yaroslavl and Rostov, and a list with the lost Yaroslavl Icon of Our Lady of Kazan.
