at the relics of saints.
With a prayer for you.

This was my 3rd pilgrim trip organized by Andcross https://www.andcross.ee in 7 years. I’ve been to the local holy sites, but this year, I decided to make a long journey to the Valaam Monastery. The entire group was well prepared by the organizers: starting with the prayers we need to read and ending with the weather forecast and recommendations on what clothes to put on. There was a priest with us on that trip. We talked a lot about the places we are going to and about Orthodoxy in general. The priest was a very educated and down-to-earth person. We also watched a video about the monastery. So, not a single second was wasted on the road. When we arrived at our destination, we already knew a lot. Valaam simply stunned me with its energy. You can feel an incredible power there. It’s hard to describe this but it needs to be felt. During our visit, we saw every corner of the monastery, attended the services, and had a chance to confess and talk with the monks. The people there are strong, as is the place itself. There are many miraculous shrines in the monastery. When standing in front of them, I asked the Lord to help me deal with my problems and the hardships of my loved ones. I think that’s what most pilgrims come for – to ask for God’s mercy. Now I regret that I haven’t visited this holy site earlier and I intend to come back. Victor –

Beautiful cross, thank you, I am delighted with my purchase.

I’ve recently visited the Pyukhtitsky Assumption Monastery and I want to tell you about it. The trip was organized by the Andcross Spiritual and Ecclesiastic center https://www.andcross.ee It was a tour with a group of strangers. Before the trip, everyone got instructions on what and how to do, what to take for this trip, and how to tune in. Some people weren’t new to such things, but for me, this information was very valuable. On the way, we were also instructed, listened to chants, and watched a religious video. The mood they created was right and relevant. The monastery is also famous because John of Kronstadt visited it many times and took care of it. The Icon of the Assumption of Mother of God can be seen there. The monastery has given it to John of Kronstadt, and then he returned the icon to the monastery. I kissed this icon and prayed fervently in front of it. I bathed in the holy spring. It’s known for its countless miracles. They say that the blind were able to see again and the paralyzed began to walk after bathing in it. We just need to believe in Our Lord and His help, and everything will be possible. I can’t say that the trip helped me to get rid of any physical illness but I felt so much easier when I came back home. The recent heaviness was gone, instead there appeared some kind of enlightenment. If someone doubts whether to go to the Pyukhtitsky monastery, I will say that it’s a must. Go there with pure thoughts and good intentions. Thank the Almighty and the saints, and the healing will come. Julia –

Great looking item, good quality, delivery pretty fast in Europe.

For the first time in my life, I decided to go on a pilgrim trip. I’ve got a lot to carry on my shoulders in the last couple of years. Problems with my property, my health, and my money. These difficulties were like an avalanche. And gradually, I began to realize that praying in the church was not enough for me and I had to visit holy sites and ask for the Lord’s mercy there. I found the website of the Andcross pilgrim center https://www.andcross.ee on the Internet. They offer many different trips. So I chose to go to the Pyukhtitsky Monastery. I’ve heard about it before, but, sadly, had no idea what it was famous for It turned out it’s known for numerous cases of salvation and healing. The famous John of Kronstadt was connected with that monastery. The monastery has тhere’s also a miraculous Icon of the Mother of God. The spring named after the Mother of God helped the disabled, deaf, and blind people. They were again able to walk, hear, and speak. All this became a revelation for me! I prayed and kissed the icon. I bathed in the holy spring, although I’ve always been afraid of entering cold water. I didn’t need to sit during the service, although I used to sit down quite often because of my joints. But this time, everything was easy for me. After this trip, I felt like something new appeared inside me, something has been discovered. Something bright, light, and kind. I want to thank everyone who helped me and my fellow travelers during this trip! Ludmila –
