In 2013, Archimandrite Lavr decided to build a summer church so that services could be held outdoors during the warm season. In just a few weeks, the church was constructed and consecrated in honor of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women. The first service took place on Easter, May 5. After the passing of Archimandrite Lavr, who was the chief builder and beautifier of the Holy Assumption Monastery, Metropolitan Alexy of Tula and Efremov blessed the creation of a house-museum and memorial room in his honor. In 2018, on the feast day of the Holy Martyrs of Illyria Flora and Lavra, a church was consecrated in their honor, located above the northwestern gates of the monastery.
