On October 2, an excursion trip took place for first-year students of group 6K9591 to the St. Elisabeth Monastery.
The St. Elisabeth Monastery is a female Orthodox monastery of the Minsk diocese of the Belarusian Orthodox Church on the outskirts of Minsk (Novinki district). This is the only functioning monastery in the city.

The students were met and given a tour by the monastery’s maid, Sister Marina, and the monastery’s novice Irina. They talked about the history of the monastery, different periods in the history of the clergy, as well as about Grand Duchess Elizabeth Romanova, in whose honor the monastery was named.

As part of the excursion, the children not only got acquainted with the history of the monastery and its buildings, but also took part in a prayer service. In addition, the temple servants treated the students to lighted buns. After the excursion, the children had positive impressions and warm memories.
