We visited this place on our own, without excursions, the main cathedral was under repair, we walked around the surrounding area. Everything is done neatly, a beautiful garden with a fountain, huge bells that are located right next to the garden and they are also active. Shops selling church utensils. Overall, the experience is excellent, there is a desire to return and take a full tour after the renovation.

The Orthodox pearl of Belarus! I strongly advise every Orthodox to visit here. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God "Zhirovichskaya" is the smallest icon in stone (jasper). At the moment, the main Assumption Church is closed for restoration, the icon has been moved to another temple of the monastery, where you can venerate the Image. A beautiful, landscaped area, two miraculous springs are located at a distance from the monastery.

Ambiguous impressions: I am an Orthodox atheist, but if from an aesthetic point of view it is really very beautiful, large-scale, modern, but at the same time it is a historical place. I recommend visiting, but be prepared that this is an Orthodox university in fact.

A beautiful and energetically pleasant place. At the time of September 2024, the monastery is under reconstruction, only St. Nicholas Church, a refectory and a shop with souvenirs, icons, candles are open. There is a shelf with skirts at the entrance, you'd better take your own handkerchief.

Anyone coming from Russia will be disappointed. This is not the level of Sergiev Posad, Suzdal or Vladimir.It's more of a tourist destination.Lots of shops with church paraphernalia.Services are held in a small classroom-type room.Candles are not lit, but put in special places.Temples differ from Orthodox ones in their internal structure.There is no painting of domes and walls, there are no ancient icons.Maybe they are, but I've only come across new models in temples.In icon shops- like in a supermarket - the choice is huge.The monastery is undergoing renovation.You can't get everywhere.Young monks take guided tours of the territory.Plastic cards are not accepted, only cash.In the parking lot, we were alone with Russian license plates.The monastery is a cross between Catholics and Orthodox.For an amateur.

The place for the monostyr is ideally chosen, so it feels as if someone has indicated this place. The monostyr fits into the surrounding nature. Personally, I really liked it.
Minus. I can't even say anything bad. However, I would like to visit the theological school itself with an excursion. But in general, I really liked it, I'm delighted.

This is one of the most salted places in Belarus with an interesting history. I also have a personal story related to this monostyr. By the age of fifty, I had an autoimmune disease, but at that time it was not clear at all what it was. My wife went to monostyr and ordered a health service. Nine months later, our son was born. Now I'm making fun of her that in the monastery it was necessary to specify the request somehow, because the disease remained. Five years later, they were diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

A deeply spiritual place. Grace during the Liturgy. One of the strongest shrines in Belarus. For us, this is one of the mandatory places that we visit when traveling to this country. Mother of God "Zhirovichesky" - next to her miraculous icon it is calm and gracious.

These are not just impressions, they are super impressions. I would compare it with the Sofia gathering in Kiev. The nature, the atmosphere, even the air is different there. We went as a family, went around everything, visited the holy spring and font. And also monastery bread... By the time they got to the car, the son chewed on a hunk of bread and said that he had never tasted anything tastier. I definitely recommend you to visit.

This is a place of power! When I come to Belarus, I always try to come here, worship the miraculous icon of the Zhirovitskaya Mother of God and plunge into the font. For those who are going to visit for the first time, I recommend taking a guided tour right at the monastery. It is conducted by seminarians and shows places where you cannot get to yourself, it is very interesting! I also recommend drinking tea with juicers in the local refectory and buying fresh monastery pastries.

You need to come here with a special attitude. It's not just a tourist attraction, it's more about spirituality. It's good to walk slowly around the territory, listen to the bells. Enter the temple with an open heart. Then you will definitely like it here. And finally, to plunge into the font!

Очень красивый монастырь. За последние 10 лет сильно изменился. Отремонтированы все строения и снаружи и внутри. Удобная парковка, правда маловата во время наплыва паломников и туристов. Очень красивые колокола. Великолепные виды. Очень величественный храм, никаких препонов в осмотре монастыря нет, с удовольствием посетил данную обитель, рекомендую.

Выдалось отправиться в путешествие в этот монастырь, хорошее местечко, хорошие люди, очень недорого можно покушать, но нужно заходить в трапезную внутри монастыря, не та, которая снаружи, там действительно всё очень плачевно и заветренно и ещё готовьтесь, что везде расчёт только за нал. Сам городок Жировичи чистенький, аккуратный. К посещению рекомендую.

Одна из самых главных православных Святынь в Беларуси. Кроме монастыря здесь располагается Минская Духовная Семинария, и здесь учатся на священников и духовных преподавателей в течении 5 лет. В целом этот комплекс состоит из нескольких православных храмов, которые имеют древнюю истории, начиная со времён ВКЛ. Всем христианам, в том числе и католикам (по католическим меркам этот комплекс также относится к Церкви Рима), рекомендуется посетить данный монастырь.

The icon in Zhirovichi is miraculous. The territory is divided. One is for visits and excursions, the second is only for monks. Too much trading. There is no monastic solitude.
