Hermitage of the Holy Cross launches photo site.

Their photo galleries are a favorite of mine and are often my go-to place for festal photos.

The Hermitage of the Holy Cross is an English speaking monastery under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in the Diocese of Eastern America and New York. The abbot of the monastery is Bishop George of Mayfield. The monks support themselves by manufacturing hand rolled incense in the ancient Athonite tradition as well as through hand painted icons, homemade soap, and selling other liturgical items and products.


The monk's day at the Hermitage begins with prayer followed by the monk's private prayer rule and work in obedience.
