Saint Eufrosyne Monastery, Polotsk, Soviet Union, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, Belarus
In 1941, during the Great Patriotic War, the Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk disappeared without a trace and has not yet been found.
The monastery was founded by the holy princess Euphrosyne of Polotsk in 1125, when she settled near the Transfiguration church in Selce. Over time, the sisters of St. Euphrosyne were tonsured: the native Evdokia (in the world of Gordislav) and the cousin Evpraksia (in the world of Zvenislav) - the only daughter of the Polotsk prince Boris Vseslavich.
In 1161, with the zeal of St. Euphrosyne the Monk the stone Transfiguration Church was erected, the best preserved monument of the ancient Polotsk architecture.
Mother Euphrosynia in 1161 donated a gilt cross to the church. This cross known as the Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk had relics of many saints and was carved in wood which is claimed to come from the Life-giving Cross of Christ. The cross was carved by the local master jeweler Lazar Bogsha. In the XIII century the cross was taken from Polotsk, but again returned to the monastery Ivan the Terrible in 1563 after the successful siege of the city.
In 1580, the monastery was given to the Jesuits after the capture of Polotsk by Stephen Bathory. In 1654, it was returned to Orthodoxy but in 1667, was again taken over by the Jesuits, who kept it until 1820, when they were expelled from Polotsk. In 1832 the monastery was transferred to the orthodox church and in 1840 it was restored. In 1841 the Cross of the Euphrosyne of Polotsk was returned to the Transfiguration Cathedral.
In the 1840s, the ancient monastery was ranked first-class. In the walls of the monastery the Saint Euhrosyne women's spiritual school was located . In 1847, with the Abbess of Claudia Schepanovsky, the construction of the Euphrosyne Refectory Church was started. It was opened on 5 June (23 May o.s.), 1858.
In 1897, under the abbess Yevgeniya Govorovich, a monumental five-domed Cross Exaltation Cathedral was erected, designed according to the design of architect V.F. Korshikov in the neo-Byzantine style .
Tangible spiritual heritage of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk
St. euphrosyne of Polotsk, the first East Slavonic woman to have been canonized by the Orthodox Church, stood at the birth of the tangible representation of the spiritual heritage of universal human values. The masterpieces of architecture, painting, and ornamental arts, in whose creation she was involved, have turned into the tangible assets of the spiritual heritage of the Enlightener herself and, what is more, they have exerted an essential impact on the spiritual and cultural development of other countries and nations.
