St.John the Evangelist monastery

The Monastery of St. John the Evangelist, one of the oldest monasteries in Ryazan Region, is in Poschupovo village on the high bank of the Oka river. It is believed that the monastery was founded by Greek monks in 12 century. These monks brought with them the miracle-making icon of the apostle John the Evangelist, which became the main sacred thing of the Poschupovo monastery.
