The life of the Church is rich and multifaceted, and many moments of grace are best conveyed through the living image. Our video library opens the doors of Saint Elisabeth Convent in Minsk to viewers around the world, offering a glimpse into the spiritual, cultural, and charitable life of our community.
Here you will find sermons and talks by our clergy, filled with words of encouragement, pastoral guidance, and reflections on the Gospel. These videos invite you to hear the living voice of the Church and to find answers to the deepest questions of the soul.
The collection also includes recordings of Divine Services and feast-day celebrations. Even from afar, the faithful can join in the prayerful atmosphere of the monastery, experiencing the solemn beauty of Orthodox liturgy and the joy of major feasts.
In addition, our video section features documentary films, interviews, and cultural programs that tell the story of the Convent’s ministry. Through them, viewers learn about the sisters’ service in hospitals and orphanages, their creative workshops, and the charitable projects that bring hope to those in need.
By watching these videos, you can walk the paths of the Convent, enter its churches, and witness the living faith that inspires both monastics and laity. Each recording is an invitation to prayer, reflection, and a deeper encounter with Christ.
We welcome you to explore this video archive, to share it with others, and to let the words, images, and hymns draw you closer to the peace and joy of God’s presence.
