Thank you for your kind words, we are glad that you find our blog articles useful. In fact, in order to cover the life of the nuns of Marfo-Mariinsky Convent after its closure, it would be necessary to write another article, and maybe we will do this one day. But for now I can briefly reveal a little more information about their future fate.

One of the nuns suffered martyrdom in 1938 and was canonized. The rest of the sisters can be considered confessors, because after the monastery was closed in 1926, they indeed were sent into exile in Central Asia, in Turkestan, where they continued to endure sorrow with faith and fearlessness, do works of mercy and live according to the commandments of God.

And although at that godless time of Soviet power, the sisters in exile were under the close supervision of law enforcement agencies (they were watched, periodically interrogated, and threatened), they actively helped other exiles, served God and their neighbors in a variety of ways using their talents. There is even information that with their love and humility the sisters got through the stony souls of some of the guards.

May God bless you!
Sister Anastasia
