Konstantin Yeleninsky Monastery official schedule of services. Constantino-Eleninsky convent in the village of Leninskoye, Vyborgsky district, Leningrad region. Lower stone church in honor of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia
Leninskoe (Khaapala). Constantino-Eleninsky Convent November 13th, 2012
The village of Leninskoye as part of Pervomaisky rural settlement is located near the St. Petersburg suburb of Repino, on the banks of the Sestra River. The former border Finnish village of Haapala (from Haapala - Aspen), which consisted of three parts: Pullinen, Tulokas and Luutahyantya. In 1948, it received the name Leninskoye in honor of the fact that in the neighboring village of Yalkala (now Ilyichevo) in 1917, our Vladimir Ilyich, hiding in Finland from the Provisional Government, spent about a week in the house of the Finnish Parviainen family. In fact, I almost didn’t see the village of Leninskoye itself, but I visited its main attraction at the moment - the convent of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena, thus visiting one of the holy places in the vicinity of St. Petersburg during a Sunday trip, which is also for me is of particular importance, since I myself am Konstantin.
The laying of the temple took place on June 28, 1998, in December 1999 the first service was held. And on September 11, 2001, on the feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II performed the rite of consecrating the church.
In the temple there is a particle of the relics of Saints Constantine and Helena and a particle of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. The monastery was founded in May 2006 with the blessing of Metropolitan Vladimir of St. Petersburg and Ladoga. After the founding of the monastery, two other churches were built - those of the Nativity of Christ and those of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
4. St. Nicholas Church:
5. Mosaic icon of Constantine and Helena on the facade of the main temple:
6. Monument to the fallen in the Great Patriotic War. On the boards are written the names of the inhabitants of Haapal (they were immigrants in 1940), who did not return from the war. And before their names, the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky kneels on his knees. In fact, he bows in prayer before the icon of the Mother of God, but for some reason I did not immediately understand this. Although I think the idea that Alexander Nevsky pays homage to Soviet soldiers is also true to some extent. So to see in this monument and such an interpretation was not wrong.
7. Fountain:
8. A tablet announcing that the tree was planted by Metropolitan (now Patriarch) Kirill:
I really liked the monastery. I should have been there sometime in the service.
9. Residential buildings in Leninsky:
After the war, the village was actually built from scratch, as it was completely wiped off the face of the earth during fierce battles.
In Leninsky, I took the same bus 600 and went to Repino to take bus 211 there and go to St. Petersburg on the Black River (where I live). I spent about half an hour in Repino and did not photograph anything there.
11. Only here is the railway:
Please note: there is not a single snowflake in Repino, although just 25 kilometers from here, in Pervomaisky, there is a fairly solid layer.
The new Orthodox women's convent is located in the village of Leninskoye (Fin. Happolo) in the Vyborg region, not far from the resort villages of Repino and Komarovo. There has never been an Orthodox church in this village. Historically, this territory belonged to the Principality of Finland and the population was mainly of the Lutheran faith. The nearest Orthodox church was only in Roshchino, where Orthodox people lived. In 1998, an Orthodox community was created in the Leninskoye settlement. The place allotted for the construction of the temple was the place left from the club that burned down during the perestroika years. The construction was carried out at the expense of the patron Konstantin Veniaminovich Goloshchapov.
In June 1998, the laying of the church in honor of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena took place, in February of the following year, domes were installed on the church. In December 1999, eight bells were raised to the belfry. The first service in the temple took place on the Nativity Fast in 1999, since May 2000 services have been held here constantly. The temple was consecrated in 2001 by His Holiness Patriarch Alexy.
For several years the church of Constantine and Helena acted as a parish church. But at a meeting of the Holy Synod on October 6, 2006, the petition of Metropolitan Vladimir of St. Petersburg and Ladoga for a blessing for the opening of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Convent in the village of Leninskoye, Vyborg District, Leningrad Region, was granted.
The first sisters came here from the St. Petersburg Novodevichy Convent. Nun Hilarion (Feoktistova) was appointed superior of the monastery with the laying of the pectoral cross.
On the territory of the monastery there are now three churches: in the name of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena, in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and a baptismal church in the name of the Nativity of Christ. Senior priest of the Constantino-Eleninsky Church, Fr. Feoktist.
The relics of St. Nicholas are kept in the Church of St. Nicholas. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Spiridon Trifunsky, martyr. Panteleimon the Healer, St. Right-Believing Prince Alexander Nevsky, St. Seraphim of Sarovsky, Anthony Dymsky.
Another temple was built in the name of the Nativity of Christ. This temple is also called "baptistery", it is intended for baptism. In fonts it is possible to baptize by full immersion not only for children, but also for adults and for adults.
There are more than fifty shrines in the monastery. There are arks with particles of the relics of the holy kings Constantine and Helena, the relics of St. Apostle Bartholomew and St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene, martyrs of the first centuries of Christianity - Hieromartyr Charalambius and Great Martyr Theodore Stratilates; head mts. Julitta, part of the relics of martyr. Kirika; svtt. John Chrysostom, Basil the Great, Spyridon Trimifuntsky, Filaret of Moscow, Theophan the Recluse and other saints, as well as a particle of the Tree of the Cross of the Lord.
Particularly revered is the image of the Mother of God "The Tsaritsa" of the Athos letter, the icon of the Not Made Image of the Lord by Vasnetsov, the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God, written in Athos in 2002, the ancient image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker - a gift from V.V. Putin.
On the territory of the monastery there are two monuments - gifts of famous sculptors. The sculpture of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, donated by Zurab Tsereteli, is installed at the entrance to the church of St. Nicholas.
Opposite the Church of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena, another sculpture was installed: a kneeling figure of the holy noble Prince Alexander Nevsky - the work of sculptor A. Charkin. According to the guide, she was exhibited at the competition of the monument to Alexander Nevsky on the square of the same name near the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. However, another sculptural work won the competition. Now this monument is located in the Kostantino-Eleninsky Monastery. It is part of the war memorial. Next to it there are boards with the names of the inhabitants of the village who died for their homeland in the battles of the Great Patriotic War and subsequent wars. Residents of the village gather near the memorial for the holiday of May 9th. A memorial service is served here, and then other burials are visited.
A Sunday school operates at the monastery, and an almshouse is being built for the elderly clergy and clergy. The monastery accepts disabled pilgrims, children from church Sunday schools, laborers with the blessing of parish priests. You can also come here in groups of up to thirty people by prior arrangement. Pilgrims are provided with food and lodging for the night in rooms with good heating and hot water.
Since 2007, a monastery courtyard has been operating in St. Petersburg -.
Recently, the monastery has another courtyard: the Holy Trinity Monastery in (the village of Ogonki, Vyborgsky District). This monastery was built with the blessing of St. John of Kronstadt at the expense of the Neronov landowners. During the Finnish war in 1939, he was evacuated to Finland, where he continues to exist.
However, now, on the historical site of Lintula, the revival of the old monastery has begun: the design of the temple and the private building is underway.
On August 4, 2008, a 10-kilometer religious procession was organized from the Constantino-Eleninsky Monastery to the former Lintulsky Monastery.

On April 16, 2016, on the feast of the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos, a group of pilgrims of the Spaso-Pargolovsky Church visited the Konstantin-Eleninsky Convent and its courtyards.
On this day, in one of the temples of the monastery - the Church of the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos, there was a patronal feast. It was in this church that Abbess Hilarion met us with a smile and blessing.
Before the start of the festive liturgy, a prayer service for the blessing of water was served. We managed to collect some water, submit notes, venerate the relics of the saints, among which there are particles of the relics of St. Constantine and Helena Equal-to-the-Apostles, St. Panteleimon, St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, St. Basil the Great, St. Sergius of Radonezh, St. Seraphim of Sarov, the righteous Fathers of God Iakim and Anna, and many other saints of God.
After the festive liturgy and a meal, we had a tour of the monastery. We visited three of the four temples of the monastery (the fourth is currently being reconstructed), once again kissed the relics of the saints and miraculous icons, among which the icon of the Mother of God of the All-Tsaritsa (Pantanassa) of the Athos letter is especially revered, before which every Saturday after the liturgy a prayer service is served with akathist. Through this icon, the grace of healing and helping people suffering from oncological diseases pours out abundantly. The monastery also regularly serves a prayer service on Mondays at 5:00 pm with an akathist to St. Spyridon Trimifuntsky.
The guide told us about the history of the creation and reconstruction of the monastery. The Constantino-Eleninsky Monastery is located in the center of the village of Leninskoye, Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Region (historically, Khaapala, which means “Aspen” in Finnish). Until 1918, these lands were the Principality of Finland, which was part of the Russian Empire, then - the territory of an independent state with a Finnish population of the Lutheran faith. After the war, the Finnish village of Haapala was renamed the village of Leninskoye and a state farm was organized from Russian immigrants. On June 28, 1998, the laying of the church in honor of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena took place, and on September 11, 2001, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II consecrated the church. Currently, there are 4 churches on the territory of the monastery: Konstantin-Eleninsky, Nikolsky, in honor of the Nativity of Christ and in honor of the Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos. In the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the sacrament of baptism is performed by complete immersion.
We also saw on the territory of the Constantino-Eleninsky Monastery a monument to Alexander Nevsky, praying before the icon of the Kazan Mother of God, who took second place in the competition of monuments on Alexander Nevsky Square in St. Petersburg, so he was not placed there, but found his place on the territory of the monastery .
We also met a former parishioner of the Spaso-Pargolovsky Church in the Constantino-Eleninsky Monastery, who has been living in this monastery for several years now, found her quiet joy here, although at first she missed our church very much. After an interesting and informative tour of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery, we headed to his Holy Trinity Lintulskoye Compound, located in the village of Ogonki (historically - Lintula, which means “bird place” in Finnish), 10 km from the village of Leninskoye. There we were met by the hospitable nun Maria, who showed us a new two-story church, recreated from photographs on the site of the completely destroyed church of the Lintul Holy Trinity Convent, dating back to 1895. Father John of Kronstadt was directly involved in its dispensation.

Nun Maria told us about the history of the restoration of the monastery. On Spirits Day, June 16, 2008, the first prayer service was served next to the ruins of the temple. Waste removal and cleanup has begun. On August 4, 2008, the first religious procession was made from the Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery with a bow wooden cross, which was installed on the site of the altar of the Holy Trinity Church. Since then, processions have been held annually, gathering more and more participants. Some of our parishioners have already taken part in these religious processions and with their own eyes noticed with joy the good changes in this holy place. In 2013, the first liturgy after 74 years of desolation was performed in the Lintul Church after the Procession.

After a marvelous story about the miraculous reconstruction of the Lintulsky Monastery, we went to the St. Petersburg courtyard of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery - the church of St. Andrew of Crete on Rizhsky Prospekt, 9. 
The history of the construction of this temple is connected with the miraculous case of saving the royal family during a train crash on October 17, 1888 near the Borki station (60 km south of Kharkov). The first rector of the church from 1892 to 1913 was Hieromartyr Philosopher Ornatsky (+1918). Currently, the temple of St. Andrew of Crete is the courtyard of the Konstantin-Eleninsky Monastery. The Church of St. Andrew of Crete is located on the third floor, and on the first floor of the same building there is a museum of Christian culture, which we visited with great joy and pleasant surprise and recommend to everyone. Excursions are conducted by appointment. You can sign up on the website http://christianculture.ru/
Constantino-Eleninsky Convent
In the St. Petersburg Diocese, among the picturesque nature of the Vyborg region, not far from the resort villages of Repino and Komarovo, in May 2006, with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir, a new monastery was created - the Konstantin-Eleninsky Convent. On October 6, the status of the monastery was approved by the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery is located in the center of the Leninskoye village (historically Khapala), where there has never been an Orthodox church before. On June 28, 1998, the laying of the church in honor of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena took place, the first divine service was held at the Nativity Fast of 1999, and on September 11, 2001, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II performed the rite of consecration of the new church.
Thanks to the work and care of the ktitor K.V. Goloshchapov, in the magnificent temple there are arks with particles of the relics of the holy kings Constantine and Helena and many ancient and new saints of God, part of the Tree of the Cross of the Lord. Of the icons decorating the temple, the image of the Mother of God “The Tsaritsa” of the Athos letter, the Image of the Lord Not Made by Hands by Vasnetsov, the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God, written on Athos in 2002, the ancient image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, a gift of President Vladimir Putin, are especially revered.
Two more temples were built on the territory of the monastery. One is Nikolsky, where you can pray before the icons and relics of the Great Wonderworker Nicholas, St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, the Great Martyr Panteleimon the Healer, the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky, St. Seraphim of Sarov and Anthony Dymsky. Another temple - in honor of the Nativity of Christ, a baptismal church with a baptistery for baptism of adults by full immersion.
In 2006, a new monastery appeared in the St. Petersburg diocese, about which relatively little is known so far. Despite his youth, the monastery has a large number of revered Orthodox shrines. The new monastery was founded in the village of Leninskoye (formerly Khaapala) in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad region.
Until recently, there were no Orthodox churches in the village itself, but until the end of 1939, there was the Holy Trinity Lintulsky Convent founded with the participation of the holy righteous father John of Kronstadt (Ogonki village, Vyborg district), founded with the participation of the holy righteous father John of Kronstadt. In 1894, Privy Councilor F.P. Neronov bought the estate of Lintula with the aim of founding the first female Orthodox monastery in the then Russian Grand Duchy of Finland. In 1894-1895. designed by architect E.L. Morozov, a wooden church of the Holy Trinity was built in the estate, and on August 10, 1896, the Holy Trinity monastic community of 26 sisters was founded. On September 11, 1905, she was given the status of a monastery.
In the 1900s Two-story wooden buildings of cells and an orphanage were built in the monastery, where in 1911 a home church of the Holy Martyr Sophia and Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir was built. In 1916, the main church burned down, and in 1919, in its place, the architect I. Bach built a new wooden church of the Holy Trinity on a stone foundation in the Art Nouveau style. After the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war, at the end of 1939, all 40 sisters, taking the revered Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God, left for Finland, in 1946 they settled in the town of Palöki in Heinäväsi, where in 1973 the new Church of the Holy Trinity was consecrated. During the battles of two wars: 1939-1940 and 1941-1945. in Lintul, the buildings of the church and the orphanage were destroyed, only the cell building, which is used as a residential building, has survived.i
The parish community created in the village of Leninskoye by local residents was officially registered on March 27, 2000. By this time, the work begun in 1998 according to the project of architect F.K. Romanovsky building in the Byzantine style of a high stone church of Constantino-Eleninsky, erected on the picturesque shore of the lake, on the site of a club that burned down in 1994 (Sovetskaya st., 44). After a small consecration on June 3, 2000, Priest Konstantin Parkhomenko, appointed rector of the church, celebrated the first Divine Liturgy. On September 11, 2001, the church was consecrated by His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II. At the same time, the construction of the Russian-style stone chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was completed and a Sunday school for children was opened.
By order of the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga Vladimir of December 5, 2001, the complex of the Church of Sts. Constantine and Helena Equal-to-the-Apostles in the village. Leninskoye was transferred to the Resurrection Novodevichy Convent in St. Petersburg for the organization of the second monastery courtyard and charitable activities (the first courtyard was arranged in the village of Lisino-Korpus, Tosnensky district, Leningrad region). However, after the transfer of the temple complex for the construction of a monastery courtyard, the parish existed for several more years. On August 29, 2002, Schema-Archimandrite Arseniy of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God and the image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, painted by the rector of the Burazeri Skete on Mount Athos, were transferred to the Constantino-Eleninsky Church from the Novodevichy Convent (which had been in the monastery since February 3, 2000).
On December 14, 2002, His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir consecrated the church of St. Nicholas, converted from a chapel. On the same day, Vladyka consecrated the monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, erected next to the church. Metropolitan Vladimir presented the author of the monument, sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, with a commemorative medal of the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky.
In 2004, the farmstead was donated to the monastery by the President of Russia V.V. Putin an old (XVI century) official image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the Vologda icon painting school. In total, in a short time, more than 50 shrines were received from various countries of the Orthodox world: many particles of the relics of ancient and new saints (St. John Chrysostom, Basil the Great, St. Sarovsky, Anthony Dymsky and others), the head of the holy martyr Julitta (acquired in 2003 in the UK by one of the benefactors of the Novodevichy Convent), part of the relics of the holy martyr Kirik, miraculous icons of the Mother of God painted on Mount Athos or were there.
By 2005, with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir, an extensive temple complex was built on the territory of the village (mainly at the expense of the benefactor K.V. Goloshchapov) of three churches: St. Constantine and Helena Equal-to-the-Apostles, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Nativity of Christ.
