I looked it up – Pakra monastery’s slava is on the feast of the Transfiguration, right? The photos of those old frescoes in the article look like they’ve seen a lot of quiet years. Must be a peaceful spot for the monks.
Yes, the slava is indeed the Transfiguration on August 19. Those frescoes have held up remarkably well considering the monastery was pretty much abandoned for decades after the war. Have you ever visited Pakra yourself?
