Monastery of John the Evangelist is an active monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is located in the village of Makarovka in the urban district of Saransk. The monastery is situated on the territory of the Makarov churchyard, which has existed since the beginning of the 18th century. It was founded in 1994. There is the residence of the Metropolitan of Saransk and Mordovia. The monastery is located on land belonging to the boyars Polyansky since the 17th century. Makar Artemyevitch Polanski, who served in Moscow, became master of this land in 1686, moving to Saransk from Moscow. The churchyard was established in Saransk. In 1704, John the Evangelist cathedral was built, later becoming a sanctuary for Polyansky for two years. After the revolution, the churchyard lost all non-essential elements: the wall, the corner towers, Znamenskaya church and Saint Michael the Archangel church. Only the John the Evangelist cathedral and the bell towers remained. Missing features of the churchyard have been restored over time. More information...
