From January 9 to January 14, 2025, a group consisting of foreign students from the Antiochian Patriarchate and the Patriarchal Exarchate of Africa, as well as their accompanying students, spent 4 days at the Krestovaya Pustyn Monastery (Solokh–Aul village), practicing obedience, prayer and liturgical practice.
As the Foundation was told at the Moscow Theological Academy, students at the monastery performed clerical obedience at divine services, helped the monks of the monastery in the kitchen and in household chores.
Representatives of the MDA had the opportunity to visit the consecrated mountain springs and see the beauty of the Caucasus.
The students also visited the city of Sochi, where they visited the Cathedral of St. Vladimir, Equal-to-the-Apostles, the Cathedral of Archangel Michael, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also walked along the Central Embankment.
This trip took place with the participation of the Foundation for the Support of Christian Culture and Heritage.
