  • Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery is a stavropegial monastic community for women in the Orthodox Church in America. It is located in Otego, New York. The community was founded in 1977 under the auspices of His Beatitude Metropolitan Theodosius, Archbishop of Washington and Metropolitan of All America and Canada. The monastery began its existence within the OCA Chancery between 1977 and 1982, moving to rented facilities near St. Vladimir's Seminary while searching for a permanent place for monastery, which was found and purchased in 1983. In 1986, along with already existing buildings, a chapel was built. The community consists of women living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life for the monastic members. The community publishes a newsletter, Essays and Notes, with essays on the Christian life written by members as well as by other authors and conducts numerous retreats. It also maintains a mail-order catalog and online store for those who require books, icons and other selected items for churches and homes, including embroidered items from the "Myrrhbearers Arab Orthodox Society of Jerusalem." The monastery also runs a farm with flocks of sheep and goats and produces prayer ropes from the wool. Guests may be given permission to work on the farm and with the animals when this is healing for them and helpful for the monastery.
