The church was built in 1885 by order of Emperor Alexander III in memory of his mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna, whose heavenly patroness was Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene.The resting place of the soul of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna Romanova, the founder of the Marfo-Mariinsky Monastery of Mercy in Moscow. A wonderful, quiet, well-groomed Orthodox corner in the Holy Land by the hands of nuns and novices. In any heat, it is comfortable and easy to breathe there. It's like home. I definitely recommend visiting there (Opening hours: Tues and readings from 10-12.00). Before visiting, be sure to read about the life of the Great Princess Elizabeth Feodorovna, courage and loyalty to her family, the Orthodox faith, universal principles, Great Russia, which arouse deep respect.

The place is very beautiful, there are many beautiful flowers, one tree with golden domes-flowers are worth it. A beautiful church, a very cozy area. On the left side, as you enter, is the holy place where the girdle of the Virgin Mary fell.
They always let you in. Knock and you will be admitted.

Here are the relics of St. Elizabeth, and her assistant St. Barbara. To visit it, you need to call at the gate, and you will be opened regardless of the day of the week, especially for Russian-speaking Orthodox

The territory is closed. you need to ask and they will let you in (there is a bell at the gate). I didn't get there the first time either)) But I recommend visiting everyone, you feel peace there. They came during the fasting period, they were all in prayer, but very friendly.
