Church of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist |
The Church of St. John the Evangelist includes a podvore of Leushinskaya Women's Monastery. The Nun Taisia, the closest spiritual child of St. John of Kronstadt, founded this church and podvore with the blessing of St. John of Kronstadt. This was St. John's favorite church to serve in when he visited St. Petersburg. Thousands of people would be on the rooftops, at the windows, in the street, and overflowing from the church to see St. John. At the end of the service the only way he could leave was by using a hidden staircase behind the altar and exiting through the rear of the building. The acting Abbess of the podvore is Mother Efrosiniya.
