Description of the attraction
The Convent of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kazimirovo is an ancient Christian shrine, revived in 2002.
The first monastery on this land was founded by the Basilian monks in 1713, who were invited by the Rechitsa subkomorie Kazimir Yuditsky. Over time, a village grew near the monastery, later called Kazimirovo, which became famous for its fairs.
The monastery kept a miraculous icon of the Mother of God, named by Kazimirovskaya "Kako helps wives to give birth to a child", about which fame went far beyond the borders of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Women who were afraid of childbirth came here. After fervent, sincere prayer, their birth was easy and went without complications.
The Basilian Mission for the Preaching of the Word of God and a school were founded at the monastery.
Under the Russian tsarist rule in 1832, the monastery, and with it the ancient icon, were transferred to the Orthodox Church. The last Kazimierz priest was martyred in 1933 at the hands of the red commissars, never renouncing the Christian faith.
The restoration of the monastery began after the formation of the Republic of Belarus. The nuns came here, to whom the former club was transferred to the house of worship, which before becoming a club was a priest's house.
Now, as in ancient times, many pilgrims flock to the monastery, asking the Mother of God for the gift of children. The Kazimierz Monastery, located in a picturesque area, is conducive to serene reflections and prayers. The recently painted walls of the monastery are renowned for their beauty.
