The store of the Orthodox book SRENETENIE on Bolshaya Lubyanka is something special. I have never seen such huge specialized bookstores! Sretenie has two separate entrances to two different stores united by a single name. The first entrance along the way from the Sretensky Monastery is the largest icon store, but the second porch is the entrance to the bookstore.

This place completely shocked me and pleasantly surprised me not so much with the huge area of ​​the store located on two levels, but with a truly colossal range of products. It's just like in Greece - everything is there!

Upon entering the store, you are greeted by a small hall with a free water cooler, a payment machine, wooden benches for rest, luggage boxes and stands with announcements of new products. After going through the door to the right from the hall, you can get into a small shop, I would say, related products, or rather, church utensils, etc. Here you can buy home icons, candles, amulets, etc. goods sold in every church shop, but presented here very widely. But to the left from the hall already described above you find yourself in an abundance of books, just amazing imagination.

In the first hall, in addition to educational and patristic, journalism and reference literature from various publishing houses, the visitor will find books of the Sretensky Monastery's own edition. The second hall contained a variety of notes, historical and philosophical books, akathists, calendars, etc. In the third hall, the visitor will find fiction, prayer books and patristic and historical books that do not fit in other halls. This is my favorite room. And the fourth hall is mostly children's books and various albums.

Do you think that's it? Nothing like this! From the second hall there is also a descent to the lower level. There are several halls with films, audio books, church hymns and classical music. True, the air conditioner works below, and therefore, going down there, it makes sense to warm up. There, after all, too, from the choice of eyes begin to run. So while you choose it is not surprising and freeze.

I will not call the prices in the store either low or high, but due to the assortment it is possible to pick up something affordable. You can pay for all purchases at the box office of any of the halls. It is very comfortable. In addition, not only cash, but also bank cards are accepted for payment. I also liked that the morning and evening services of the Sretensky Monastery are broadcast through the speakers in the halls. So if you suddenly get lost in time, then there is every chance to come to your senses in time. So I highly recommend Candlemas to everyone! Just a great store!

Sretensky Monastery was founded in 1397. At the place where the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God was found. According to legend, it was this meeting that helped save the city from Khan-Tamerlane, who retreated to the south.

The Sretensky monastery became in 1677, when the newly rebuilt one was consecrated in honor of the Presentation of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God.

After the revolution, most of the buildings of the monastery were rendered unusable. Until the 1990s, it was never restored.

But today it is the Sretenskaya Theological Seminary and one of the largest Orthodox publishing houses in Russia.
