The village of
Nebyloye on the river the Yakhroma in Vladimir region is known due to its St .Kosma's
monastery of the Holy Assumption. This monastery was founded by St. Kosma of
Yakhroma in the 1-st half of the 15-th century. After its foundation near the
monastery a settlement appeared. Since 1473 it had belonged to the Grand Prince
of Moscow Ivan Vasilyevich.
In 1624 the village of Nebyloye was granted to the monastery by the tsar
Alexey Mikhailovich. Till the second half of the 17-th century all the
buildings of the monastery were
wooden.
In 1657 with the money, donated by the tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, the
stone cathedral
in the name of the Holy Assumption was
built. The tomb of St. Kosma was at the southern gates of the cathedral. In the
17-th century the cathedral of the Saviour's Image - not Hand - Made was built.
In the 18-19 centuries, there were few monks in the monastery, but the
monastery life continued until 1923.
In the 1930s many different organizations worked in the former monastery
cathedrals. The monastery was looted. And the icon of the Virgin of Yakhroma,
which appeared for St. Kosma miraculously, was lost. It was found later in the
Moscow Kremlin Museum.
The new life of the monastery started in
the 1990s. Now it attracts a lot of pilgrims and tourists. Next to the
monastery on the bank of the river there is a bathing hut. Many people
swim in it,
receiving the cure for their diseases.
