Gethsemane Chernigov Skete

Gethsemane Chernigov Skete is located 4 kilometers from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, in the eastern suburb of Sergiev Posad. In Orthodoxy, there is a tradition of creating sketes at monasteries, where monks who are inclined to seclusion could live and pray. This was also the Gethsemane Chernigov skete, founded as a metochion of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.
