THERE IS SUCH A PLACE ON EARTH WHERE BEAUTY IS NEARBY...
Summer, August. Today I want to tell you about how I visited the monastery. Indeed, in a quiet monastery, silence reigns and beauty is all around! It feels like you are in a heavenly but earthly garden! There is a huge variety of flowers around (there will be a separate post about them - part 2). Here in front of us are apple trees, on which an incredible number of apples and also wonderful trees for these places are apricots. Yes Yes! Apricots in the Urals
There are several trees and different fruits on them. What surprised me was that there are large apricots, like in the south in the Black Sea region or in Central Asia, and there are also small ones, like in the Rostov region, for example - zherdel (small wild apricot). Even now they are so fragrant and sweet that I did not see any difference in this fruit from their counterpart from the south.
The only difference is the ripening time. There, in the South or in Asia, these miraculous fruits have long ripened and they were either eaten, or they made something of them - jam. Our apricots have just begun to ripen. And how many apples are in the monastery! Just look at the photo - it's even better to see all this beauty on the spot in the monastery!
So. what - come to visit, admire the beauty of the garden, go to the temple - put a candle, pray. And the soul will become so beautiful, light and good that the world around you will definitely seem like a garden of paradise, but earthly! The gates to the monastery and the doors to the temple are always open - welcome to the Holy Monastery of the city.
Oh, what apples! And beautiful, and fragrant, and delicious! There are so many of them this year - miracles!
And this is the very apricots or wonderful fruits for our Ural places! Very well.

Apples pull tree branches to the ground, but they don't break under such weight! Divo...
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY:
The history of the founding of the convent in Troitsk began with the establishment of a small community at the cemetery church in 1851. The first nuns - 28 sisters from the Chebarkul fortress, led by the widow of the Cossack I. Shchapin at the end of 1851, with the permission of the city council, moved to the city of Troitsk and settled on the cemetery land.
In 1852, the stone chapel was turned into a church in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which was consecrated in 1853. At the meeting of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on July 11, 1993, the Report was heard from His Grace Bishop George of Chelyabinsk and Zlatoust on the opening of the Holy Kazan Convent in the city of Troitsk for the revival of monastic life in it and the approval of nun Xenia (Kadersomtseva) cross.
From that time on, spiritual life began to revive in the monastery. On the site of the chapel in honor of the Icon of the Mother of God "Life-Giving Source" on the territory of the monastery in the summer of 2003, a chapel was laid, in which finishing work is now underway. In 2013, the building of the former chapel of the Mother of God "Three-handed" was returned to the monastery.
