Фото 1
A monastery is being established at the Archbishop's Courtyard in honor of St. Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky) in Fatezh, Kursk region. In the early 19th century, there were two stone churches, a women's progymnasium, two primary schools, and a zemstvo hospital here. In this hospital, the famous surgeon, now a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky) (1877, 1961) worked in 1907 and 1909.

In the new women's community in Fatezh, 10 nuns are currently serving under the guidance of the senior sister, Mother Seraphima (Golovina). They have been praying at this site for four years. During this time, three small buildings have been renovated, which now house a refectory, a museum of Archbishop Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky), a dormitory for the sisters, and a chapel in honor of the Resurrection of Christ.

One of the abandoned buildings has already been restored by the nuns and novices under the guidance of Mother Abbess Seraphima, who received the blessing from Bishop Benjamin to be the abbess of this monastery. One of the buildings of the future church will be dedicated to the museum of the outstanding doctor and saint. The first exhibit is already available, a portrait of Archbishop Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky, brought from Kazakhstan.
