The Eletsky Monastery, a significant historical and architectural monument, includes the Dormition Cathedral, various cells, and the monastery walls with gates.
In folk tradition, this feast is referred to as the Tenth Friday, and it is from “diesiatoj piatnicy” that the most popular name for this feast, Piatieńka derives.
The place of worship was established on the site of an older monastery from the first Christian millennium, and it was donated to the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of Western Europe in 2009.
The roundtable was attended by abbots and abbesses of stavropegial monasteries and monastic communities of the Moscow Metropolitanate.
The rite of consecration for the church’s cornerstone, located at the corner of Bucharest Street and Kozlovsky Lane, was led by Metropolitan Barsanuphius of St. Petersburg and Ladoga, according to the website of the St. Petersburg Metropolis.
