Regular services

The monastery's services are open to everyone. You can also come to the church to pray for a short while, both during services and during other church opening hours. 

Two services are held daily in the main church. The morning begins with the midnight service and the morning service on weekdays and ends with a combination of the IX moment, the evening service and a small post-evening service. On Saturdays and on the eve of holidays, the evening ends with the vigil, and on Sundays with the evening service and the akathist. There are also numerous exceptions to the regular services each year - for example, on Orthodox Church holidays and during fasting times.

During the summer months, a half-hour-long moleben, or prayer service, is held once a day, except for some holidays. On weekdays, the prayer service is held in the main church and on weekends in the old church. In winter, no services are held in the old church at all.
