Mykolayivsʹkyy Monastyr

According to legend, the monastery was founded by the monks of the Willow Monastery. The first written mention of the Miletsky Monastery dates back to 1522 and tells us that the monastery is the family home of the Sangushk princely family. In 1532, the Miletsky Monastery was mentioned as an existing one. The archimandrite of the monastery was Joseph Chaplich-Spanovsky. Until 1707, the monastery was Orthodox, from that year it was dominated by a union. In 1713 it was renamed by the highest ecclesiastical authority of the UGCC to Miletia Abbey (locally called "Abbey"). In 1839 the monastery was annexed to the Orthodox Church. According to the staff list of 1842, he was elevated to first class, and it should have been: abbot (archimandrite), vice-hieromonk, eight hieromonks, four hierodyons, three monks, five novices and 24 servants. In 1914, there were 42 brothers here. During the First World War in 1915 the monastery was evacuated to the city of Kharkiv. After the German-Soviet War, the monastery was closed and its premises housed first an agricultural school and later a boarding school for the disabled and the elderly. The worship was performed only in the church of Onufriev in the cemetery, which became a parish [1]. Located a kilometer south of the monastery, the church of St. Onuphrius the Great was erected by a monastery fraternity in 1723 as a chapel; in the 18th century it was overhauled; The monastery was reborn in 1994. The monastery complex includes the Mykolaiv Church, built in 1542 with the assistance of Prince Fyodor Sangushko, a fraternal building with a warm Transfiguration Church, a bell tower, the abbot's house, outbuildings and auxiliary buildings. After the restoration of the monastery, the Onufrievsky Temple became an attribute to the monastery.

The first time I arrived in this monastery, I was far from being a self-immortal person and having heard from pilgrims that leaving part of my heart remains ост. Then, being a 25-year-old modern Odessa girl, it was not clear to me .... And only after a couple of days in the monastery did I feel a special grace and an indescribable feeling of joy that overwhelmed me. The abbot Father Leonty blessed on the road .... And leaving this holy place, tears rolled down a hail. ..and then I realized what it means to leave part of myself !!!
