We're Going to Holy Places. Holy Trinity-Seraphim-Diveevo Female Monastery

The Holy Trinity-Seraphim-Diveevo Convent is located not far from the city of Arzamas. The long road does not frighten the pilgrims, since the time spent in the monastery walls can not be compared to anything, a person seemed to have visited another country or visited another life. You will not hear a rude word, no loud shout, you will not be offended, even if something is done not by the rules.

The feeling that a person feels while in a monastery is grace. Before God all are equal - the truth you understand when you are there. It does not matter how you are dressed, what position you are in, whether you are poor or rich - a person is valued by the inner world, proximity to God. Every day the monastery is visited by 2 to 5 thousand pilgrims. People go to Diveevo from all over the world, including from the village of Beloozero. Many people come several times a year.

The monastery was founded in 1760 by Mother Alexandra. Before her death, she transferred the sisters to the spiritual care of Seraphim of Sarov. Several times the Virgin appeared to him and through the priest Seraphim directed the construction of the monastery, "no brick was laid without her blessing."
The Mother of God ordered the construction of the Gap, which would be a defense against the Antichrist. The groove lies between the purity of the faith and the filth of this world - an amazing and mysterious of all borders. The Grove of the Blessed Virgin must be 3 arshins (2.15 meters) deep, 3 arshins wide and with a shaft 3 arshin high.

Sisters dug the Canal four years and believed that every day the Virgin descends from heaven and passes along this Gutter. Father Seraphim blessed to take land from the grooves for healing.

In 1927, the monastery was closed, and in the 1930s, the Canal was filled up and defile it with sewage. In the cathedral of the Most Holy Theotokos a shooting gallery was set up, and as the temple was painted, instead of targets, they were shot on holy faces.

In 1991, when the relics of Seraphim of Sarov were brought from St. Petersburg, the monastery was reopened. The monastery began to restore and restore. Purified and equipped with holy springs, possessing a miraculous and healing power, they began to restore the Gap of the Most Holy Theotokos. The monastery received money and donations. Today, people come to bow to relics, as the Monk Seraphim commanded: "... whatever happens to you, all come to me on the coffin, pripav to the ground, as a living, and tell me. And I will hear you, and your sorrow will pass away! As with the living with me, talk, and always I'm alive for you! "

The prophecies of Father Seraphim begin to come true. "It's not marvelous that they will raise my bones, or else it will be wonderful that I will rise and walk on foot to Diveevo and preach." According to the prophecy, Seraphim of Sarov must rise for 3 days and lead the universal preaching of repentance, people from all over the world will come to her.
The end of the world will come when the relics of the Blessed Virgin Mary next to the four pillars will be laid with four relics, and the Reverend one - the fifth. On December 22, 2000, the relics of the Monks Alexandra, Marfa and Elena Diveevsky were celebrated. There are no fourth relics and, therefore, there is still time for repentance.

Many mysteries have not been solved and are waiting for their time, but some have already found scientific confirmation. For example, several kilometers from Diveevo there is Arzamas-16 - a closed city, a center for the development and storage of radioactive elements. But there is no radiation there, and there are no patients with oncological diseases, even mushrooms are not radioactive - holiness returns virginity to nature. Not so long ago, the images that Americans were making from space were published, and there the fire ring around Diveev, like the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is clearly seen.
People come to bow to relics, pray to miraculous icons, swim in holy sources, pass along the Canal. Happy is the one who at least will stay at Diveevo, as every day the Queen of Heaven makes a detour around her abode, and everyone can walk along the footprints of the Blessed Virgin.

Everyone goes to Diveevo with their pain, anxiety, with their fears and ailments. "According to your faith be it unto you" - if you believe, then healing will be obtained, and relief will be received.
