This is a Holy Monastery of our Lord Jesus Christ; that is, a place of repentance and redemption for those leading a monastic life and for pious pilgrims. If you wish to enter the Holy grounds, you should be dressed appropriately.

Women are asked to enter dressed modestly, wearing skirts well below the knees, long-sleeved shirts, and are to have their heads covered with a veil or scarf - a hat does not substitute for a scarf. (No pants, shorts, mini-skirts, tight skirts, sleeveless blouses, etc.) Men are to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Everyone is asked to wear socks. Smoking is strictly forbidden and children must remain under parental supervision at all times.

We trust in your good intent that you will adhere to the rules set above within the precincts of the spiritual garden of the Holy Archangels.

Monastery gate is locked at night. If planning to arrive while dark, please call the day before to make arrangements.

There are wild animals roaming the grounds. Please keep your children close to you at all times and exercise caution.
