We were in Pinsk on March 28, and I couldn't get past the literally "golden" and shining cathedral of the monastery. Quiet, calm, dim lights. Repairs are underway inside. A tall and beautiful iconostasis. It has been mentioned in chronicles since the 16th century. The daughters of noblemen studied here, but then the convent was occupied by Basilian nuns. Only after 150 years, Orthodoxy returned here again. The oldest Orthodox Cathedral in Pinsk. The most ancient and little-studied image above the entrance is the large icon of the Mother of God of Jerusalem. The best example of the Belarusian icon painting art of that time.

A magnificent cathedral! We visited him twice, we were at the service on Christmas Day. People are very responsive. We happened to hear the story of the restoration of the temple, because there was a cinema here until the 80s, and it was very interesting to listen. There are many ancient icons. Required for the visit.
