The monumental white stone church in the Spaso-Efrosinyevsky Monastery was built in the Russian-Byzantine style. Very beautiful and solemn.

Many people from different places come to this holy place. Especially on weekends. Everyone should see the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk. You can venerate the holy relics. Candles are purchased for Belarusian and Russian money.
It is an interesting place both from a historical point of view and from a religious one. The temple complex is well maintained and it is clear that everything has been done for the convenience of tourists. For example, men are not allowed to enter the temple in shorts, so everyone can take pants for free before entering and put them on top. The same applies to girls, there are handkerchiefs for them.
Holy place! I consider it a sacred duty of every person to visit the shrines of shrines!!! Wonderful accompaniment during the tour, the nuns are as polite as possible and ready to help everywhere and explain what to do where and how to behave... Delicious pastries, I recommend everyone not to pass by when you are in the monastery!!!!!
a very beautiful temple, minimalistic design, I like it, it's spacious, not stuffy, it's nice to stand, I wouldn't even put tiles on the floor, the concrete floor gives modernity to the overall style of the building inside, only of course I would remove the wires naturally so that there was nothing superfluous under my feet 😇😇
The main temple (cathedral) is located on the territory of an ancient monastery, surrounded by a well-maintained territory, a church shop, churches. Bright and sincere. I recommend a visit.
The cathedral was built in 1896, it houses the relics of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, the icon of the Mother of God of Ephesus and Krasnostokskaya and the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk.

Well done , they're doing the right thing, they're encouraging
The living breath of history! Beauty, solemnity, grandeur! The frescoes of the 12th century are a wealth that came to us from our ancestors... The cross of St. Euphrosyne is not only a symbol, it is also a talisman for all our people. And there is purity, fragrance and grace in the air!
Even in the photo you can see what a beautiful temple looks like! It's very nice and cozy inside. In general, it is difficult to write about temples. I have seen only one uncomfortable and uninteresting Orthodox Church in my life - in Vilnius. And in Belarus, the temples are well-groomed and somehow peaceful and calm in a special way. Without much pathos, but sincere. This is also the Holy Cross Church in Polotsk. The area around the Temple is very peaceful and peaceful.
This place has been radiating a salted energy for centuries. The architecture, the frescoes, the area are all fascinating. You can venerate the relics of Saint Euphrosyne.
On the territory of the Spaso-Efrosinievsky monastery there is a genuine miracle - the Spaso-Prebrazhenskaya Church! Everyone should see her! Every time we visit Polotsk, we come here. The church is undergoing restoration, but visitors are allowed in!
