Russian trip to Diveevo

The village was founded in 1559. There are several versions of the origin of its name. The most common version says that the village got its name after the first owner — Nogai murza Divey, the son of Mokshev Butakov. Divey received these lands after a successful campaign on Kazan.[4] Later, at the end of the XVII century, the main part of the descendants of Divey (Diveyevs) adopted Orthodoxy. Princes Giveawy owned by the Prince-Ivanov (now may day), 3 km from Diveevo.

Trinity Cathedral of the Seraphim-Diveyevsky Monastery
In the second half of the XVIII century, a small wooden church was built in Diveyev in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Archdeacon Stephen. The location of the village of Diveeva at the intersection of pilgrimage roads made it possible for travelers going to the Sarov monastery to find shelter and rest in the church. Under its shelter for recreation, the temple also received the wanderer Agafya Semyonovna Melgunova, who in 1767 began to build a stone church in Diveyev in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God (consecrated in 1772). After the consecration of all three side chapels of the church, Agafya decided to organize a community. In 1788, she received a gift from the landowner Zhdanova 1300 sq. She planted a plot of land next to the temple, where she built three cells with outbuildings. Everything necessary for life, including food, was delivered to them from the Sarov Monastery. Shortly before her death, Mother Alexandra was visited by the elders of Sarov and the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, whom she asked to take care of the community.

Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral
One of the Diveevo shrines is the Groove of the Mother of God, located on the territory of the Holy Trinity Seraphim-Diveevo Convent. According to the legend of Seraphim of Sarov, the Antichrist in the last times will not be able to overcome it.
