We got here on foot, but it was late, everything was already closed. The area around is pleasant for walking.

A small but well-kept area of the former Zverin-Pokrovsky Monastery. At the time of our visit (July 2021), there was some construction going on in the area. The Intercession Cathedral (beginning of the 20th century) is wide, squat and not too impressive with its “beauty”. However, the inside is very bright and positive, despite the fact that all the paintings and iconostasis were completed quite recently (remodel), since everything original was joyfully destroyed in Soviet times. The cathedral is closely adjacent to the much older and very small church “In Honor of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos” (XIV century), which it functionally replaced, but which, thank God, was not demolished due to this. Subsequently, this small church was reconsecrated in honor of the icon of the Tikhvin Mother of God, as indicated by the fresco above the entrance to it.

A remake of the beginning. 20th century, large and pompous. Nearby there are 2 churches at the end of the 14th and the middle. 15th century - they really are of historical interest, in contrast to the Church of the Intercession.

They say that inside is the second largest temple of Veliky Novgorod. Opposite the fence and the entrance to the territory were seated several kalik passers-by of a decent but drunken appearance. Mat from them spread to the doors of the temple - something they did not share. The service was conducted in turn by four male priests, forty years old, and seven "pioneers" (from ten to 18 years old in appearance). I remember when one of them walked around the hall with a smoking censer, and his gaze fell on a young Armenian woman, who was decently dressed, but in everything tight-fitting and strongly emphasizing her lovely shapes and silhouette. The priest literally stripped her with a glance - still, the lack of female attention affects. The service was classic. Of the differences, towards the end of the middle, a female chorus sounded from invisible speakers. Thanks to the good acoustics of the hall and the perfectly matched volume, it harmoniously blended into the service. Because of the pandemic, the confession was common (they gathered in a bunch and the priest absolved of sins in bulk). Under almost every icon there are disinfectant sprayers. The sacrament was in two parts to two priests. They used one spoon for all (more precisely, two for all) spoons, probably relying on the fact that viruses die from holy prayers. In the center of the room was a table with a dozen small porcelain mugs, into which tea was poured from a large teapot, and next to it was a bowl of finely chopped dried white bread. Probably it was a spirits. Since the mugs were three times less than the people, they were allowed as a challenge prize in a circle. Someone wrote that they sell bakery and dairy products produced by a local monastery, but they found only noun-name honey at a price of about eight US dollars per kilogram.
