Chapel of St. Arseny Konevsky

***The Chapel of St. Basil the Great was a simple, quadrangular cage, covered with a gable roof and decorated with a high carved porch.

The icon of the Theotokos of Konevskaya is a list from the icon with which the Athonite abbot blessed St. Arseny when he returned from the Holy Mountain to Russia. The image of the Konevskaya Mother of God is distinguished from others by a baby pigeon nestling on the Baby's arm. Currently, the miraculous Konevsky icon is kept in the Novo-Valaam Monastery in Finland.
