Thank you for this news. I have always loved the story of Saint Macarius of Zhukhov, especially how he founded the monastery on the banks of the Volga after leaving his first hermitage. Let's hope the sisters continue to keep this place alive.

Yes, the story of Saint Macarius is truly beautiful, especially this departure from the hermitage of Joukhov to settle on the banks of the Volga with his disciples. I read that he even had to rebuild the monastery after the Tatar invasion, which shows his tenacity. Let's hope that the sisters keep this heritage well, as you say.
