A Life-Long Feat. The Life and Works of Elena (Konovalova) and Gavriila (Risitskaya) - Abbesses of the Grodno Holy Nativity of the Mother of God Monastery
9.99 €
Lidia Golovkova and Inna Menkova's book "A Life-Long Feat" tells about two outstanding abbesses, the leaders of the Grodno Holy Nativity Monastery, Elena (Konvalova) and Maria (Risitskaya). Abbess Elena, who made the monastery prosperous at the beginning of the 20th century, saved it and its nuns during the years of evacuation at the beginning of World War I, and then during the troubled times of the Revolution and early Bolshevik repressions. Abbess Gabriela managed to preserve and defend it during the difficult years of persecution of the Church and Khrushchev's "thaw". Two world wars, several stages of Polish and Soviet repressions in Belarus and Ukraine, the deaths of people close in spirit, the suffering and destruction of the Church - the story of the history of the monastery and its great abbesses unfolds against the broad backdrop of Russia's presence on its western frontiers since the 15th century.
