MONASTERY OF OPTINA PUSTIN. SKIT AND TEMPLE (for the solitary life of hermits and wanderers).

In 1821, in the forest behind the monastery wall, the Optina Pustyn Skete was built, in which lonely wandering monks and hermits lived, seeking solitude for their individual hermit service to God. The famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky lived in this monastery for some time when he wrote his book “THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV”. A church was later built next to the monastery, in which the monks of the monastery still hold services. The video features music and Orthodox chants of the male choir of the Optina Pustyn Monastery.
