In the early 20th century, the monastery was home to 60 nuns. The main church, dedicated to the Archangel Michail, was built in the early 19th century. It’s existence is related with a very dramatic story.
Sometimes, people’s life trails are so remarkably intersected with others people’s will and decisions. Society or what is considered a rule by it, can influence individual destinies so much that it takes bravery and heroic acts just to try to resist it, or to try to get back on your track. One such case is the story of a girl named Sultana, a daughter of a local priest whose story witnesses the unjust position of women in the 20th century. Trying to escape an inhumane treatment, her destiny changes forever, and now more than a century after, still influences the lives of women who find refuge in monastic life.
