Instruction manual
1
Remember that you are going to bow to the shrine, and not to perform a ritual. Believe in a miracle, but do not think that when you come to the Matron, you will automatically get rid of problems. Get ready spiritually. Read the life of the blessed old woman Matrona, find prayers to her. If you are a church person, take a blessing from the priest.
2
The relics of Matron are in the Pokrovsky monastery at the address: Moscow, st. Taganskaya 58. To get there, get to the Marxistskaya metro station. Follow the passage to the left, climb the stairs to your right. You will appear on Taganskaya street. Walk on the right side until you see the image of Matrona.

You can use public transport. From "Marxist" to the monastery (stop "Abelmanovskaya Zastava") there are buses No. 51, No. 74 and trolleybuses No. 16, No. 26, No. 63.

There is an alternative route. Get off at the Krestyanskaya Zastava metro station in the direction of 3rd Krutetskiy Lane. Then through the area of the Peasant outpost, go to Abelmanovskaya street. Without turning, go to the monastery. On the same street you can reach the monastery from the Proletarskaya station. Or take the tram (No. 12, No. 20, No. 43).
