TROPARION OF ST. MARY OF EGYPT
The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Mother Mary, for you took up the cross and followed Christ.  By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal.  Therefore your spirit, O Holy Mother Mary,
rejoices with the angels

HISTORY

In 1992, St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery,
a woman’s monastery, in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, started with a three dollar donation.
 
The Monastery is under the omophorion (authority) of His Eminence, Metropolitan Maximos, of the Metropolis of Pittsburgh, Archdiocese of New York and the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

With traditional Orthodox Monastic hospitality,
St. Mary of Egypt has received visitors and guests from the U.S., Canada, Africa, & fourteen other countries world wide. 

In addition to helping the needy of our community, charity is offered to refugee families, and children with their families from around the world who come to Cleveland for medical needs.

St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Monastery has received Proclamations from the Mayors of Cleveland and the Governors of Ohio for our commitment to the community.

Monasteries are a treasure of Orthodoxy.  They are an irreplaceable testimony of the presence of the Kingdom of God to an increasingly secular and humanistic society.  Where an Orthodox Monastery exists, special blessings and miracles often follow.

If any woman has a calling for missionary work combined with monastic life in America, this may be a calling for her. In this way, she can help tend to the needs of others and also serve Christ.

monastic life:
