Hlynska Desert (Nativity of Virgin Monastery)

Temple , Architecture

The Nativity of the Holy Virgin (Hlynska Desert) Stauropygny Monastery is located in the village of Sosnivka near Hlukhiv, a few kilometers from the Russian border.

According to legend, the monastery was founded in 1557 at the place where a miraculous icon of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on a pine tree to local beekeepers while collecting honey.

The name of the monastery comes from the estate of the Hlynskyi princes, on whose land the hermitage is based. Ivan Mazepa and Oleksiy Menshikov were the patrons of the Hlynsky monastery at different times. He flourished in the 19th century.

The desert, surrounded by a stone fence, had five separate and four domestic temples. The cathedral church in honor of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God with a bell tower was built in 1770-1781. Almost all buildings were destroyed after the monastery was closed by the Bolsheviks in 1922.

In 1994, the Hlynska Desert was reopened, and it was occupied by representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate. A new over-the-gate church was consecrated in the name of the icon of the Mother of God of Iver. In 2002, Saint Michael's Church was built on the site of the destroyed cathedral.

There is a holy spring on the territory.
