We ask all guests to be mindful of the peace that resides at the monastery and to maintain a certain quietude, respecting the other pilgrims but also the monastery.

Keeping in mind the traditional practices of our Church, please observe the following customs to help maintain a spirit of prayer during services:

Men and boys should wear pants and long sleeves if possible
Women and girls should wear a long skirt or dress, and long sleeves if possible. It is an Orthodox tradition for women to cover their heads, for angels cannot bear the glory of women
Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not appropriate. However, removing one's shoes like Moses is welcome during services
Please avoid using perfume, cologne and other strong smells
