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.
Things that don’t match our priorities usually pass us unnoticed. We could hardly accept them even if we wanted to, because they are simply off our radar. Here, at the Convent, we like to say: "This is Father Andrey's blessing". In most cases, I have no idea what these "blessings" are. In reality, people come to me with ready strategies, looking as if they know exactly what to do and eager to do it. There is nothing left for me to say but "Go ahead". Hardly does anyone ever come to me and say: 'What should I do? How do I live my life now?"
In the very beginning of our women’s farmstead, the Convent was planning to organize a rehabilitation centre for socially deprived women there. The first thing that Father Andrew Lemeshonok, our spiritual father asked at that time was: 'what would these women be doing here?' The idea of founding a herbal workshop soon came about. The sisters began bringing this idea to life in 2018. We already had a building for the work settings to be in. Fr Andrey consecrated the workshop in Spring of 2019 after we registered it with local authorities.
Dear friends of St Elisabeth Convent! Please watch, like and share this insightful video made by one of our parishioners, a math modelling specialist, Daniel Sachkov in support of the spiritual father of our Convent, Archpriest Andrey Lemeshonok. In his inspiring talk, Daniel is urging us not to be silent as it is time for us to make a stand and show our support for the Convent.
These Easter days, when we glorify the risen Christ are also the days of another glorious celebration. Today marks 75 years of our Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the event, crucial for our nation. As we celebrate today let us increase our prayer for the unity of our Church.
