Chernigovsky Skit

The Chernigovsky skete in Sergiev Posad, Russia is a monastery standing unique in central Russia for hand-dug monk cells and prayer caves. Since 1990 it has been under restoration owing to state help and parishioner donations. After its blossom in the early 20th century as part of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, the skete is regaining its status. Now about 10 monks live in the skit famous for its everyday unction sacrament with anointing.
