It's the only Russian Orthodox church where I can pray in solitude 🙏 I do appreciate Fathers to let me light candles in any time of my visit, though not every Russian Orthodox church in US is nice about it. I love that it's in the middle of the forest and not in a middle of the city as I'm used to. I always buy soaps that they are making, they have coffee (Abbott blend is a must), bibles, icons, etc.
Had a great time visiting the monastery for a few days! The monks were very friendly and wise. The views were also amazing! Great place for a retreat from everyday life.
All of the monks are converts. The monastery is nestled in a small forest on Vashon Island. I stayed overnight and had a wonderful visit. The peaceful atmosphere is good for anyone seeking the transcendent.
Just amazing!
Walking the island, icame upon this most precious place some thirty years ago. It was being built then, the bells had arrived not yet placed. Your priest was most kind sharing your history.you are my fondest memories.peace, health and beautiful days be yours always
