Epiphany-Anastasia Monastery
Богоявленско-Анастасиин монастырь
A women's monastery that houses the Feodorov Icon of the Mother of God, the protective icon of the Romanov family.
The Epiphany-Anastasia Monastery is home to Kostroma's bishop's cathedral. It houses the Feodorov Icon of the Mother of God, regarded as the guardian icon of the Romanov dynasty, which was used to bless Mikhail when he ascended the throne in 1613. The monastery contains the 15th-century Epiphany Cathedral and the later Church of Our Lady of Kazan, whose interiors are dazzlingly gilded. Admission is free, so mind your dress code, and photography is prohibited during services. It is about a 5-minute walk from Susanin Square.
