On the Monastery’s Patronal Feast Day of the All-Merciful Saviour (August 1/14, 2022), the former Riassa-phore Monk Peter was tonsured a stavrophore monk with the name of Paisois in honor of St. Paisios of Mt. Athos, and the worker Basil was clothed as a novice, totaling 6 monastic members of our monastery. Please pray for us all!

This lovely commemorative coin has an icon of Christ “made without hands” inspired by the famous Icon of Christ treasured in the monastery of St. Catherine on Mt. Sinai on it’s front, with the Slavic cross and the shorter version of the Jesus Prayer on it’s back: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”

This zinc alloy coin measures approximately 2″ wide, weighs around 2 ounces, and makes for a lovely gift. Some have even taken the coin and placed it in their icon corner.
