The Chudov Monastery (more formally known as Alexis' Archangel Michael Monastery), located in Moscow, Russia, was destroyed during the Soviet times. The monastery was closely associated with the rulers of Moscow and was the baptismal place for Russian royal children. The monastery was dedicated to the miracle (chudo in Russian) of the Archangel Michael at Chonae (Colossae) and is often referred to as the Monastery of Miracles. September 19 is the monastery's feast day.
