The Sukhotin Women's Monastery was one of the most famous in the Tambov region. 30 kilometers from Tambov, on the banks of the Naru-Tambov River, lived the pious couple, retired major Pyotr Gavrilovich and Varvara Alexandrovna Sukhotina. In their old age, during a period of severe illness, they received healing after praying before the icon of the Mother of God "Znamenie" and vowed to establish a monastery on their estate. The name of the elder who appeared to them in a dream and blessed them to pray before the icon remains unknown. In January 1818, Pyotr Gavrilovich received permission from Metropolitan Ion to build a church, and by autumn, the temple in honor of the icon was completed.

In 1822, the church was solemnly consecrated. After that, buildings for the nuns were constructed, and in 1825, Varvara Alexandrovna appealed to the Holy Synod with a request to open a women's monastery. In 1833, she also requested permission to open a charitable institution, and she was allowed to accommodate 30 women there. Varvara Alexandrovna transferred her estate with buildings and land for the charitable institution. Soon, the number of residents in the institution reached fifty.

In 1917, the monastery suffered from godlessness, and only the church in honor of the Iveron icon of the Mother of God survived from its ensemble. During the Soviet era, a children's colony and a nursing home were located on the monastery grounds, and now a psychoneurological dispensary is situated there. The church was used as a warehouse, and initially, services were held on the porch.

On August 24, 1999, an important event took place at the monastery: the residents of the village of Sukhotinka welcomed the myrrh-streaming icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow." During the service, the Iveron icon located in the church also began to stream myrrh.

Since October 26, 1999, services have resumed in the church. In 2000, the first archpastoral service was held, and in 2002, Bishop Theodosius blessed the revival of the monastery. In 2003, the crosses on the church were consecrated, the domes were restored, and heating was installed. At the initiative of Bishop Theodosius, a coordinating council for the revival of the monastery was created, which approved a restoration program in 2004.

Today, work is underway to transfer the surviving monastery buildings to the diocese. On October 26, 2004, Bishop Theodosius visited the monastery, where a festive liturgy was held. On October 26, 2010, on the day of the celebration of the Iveron icon, Bishop Theodosius gifted the monastery the icon of the Mother of God "Znamenie."
