Old Peoples Russian Orthodox Convent Description
Located approximately 20 miles north of New York City on over 40 acres of land, the Russian Orthodox Convent Novo-Diveevo was founded in October of 1949 by Father Adrian Rimarenko (later Archbishop Andrei of Rockland). Over the years the convent has been home to many nuns from various parts of the world. Former Abbess Irina came from China in 1962. The current Abbess, Abbess Makaria, is the sixth abbess of the convent. She came to the convent in 1997 and was elevated to abbess in 2016.
The convent is home to many sacred relics including a full length portrait of St. Seraphim of Sarov painted during his lifetime, a cross from the Ipatiev House, and a “Vladimir” icon of the Holy Theotokos, a gift from the Optina Pustyn monastery.
The convent grounds are comprised of two churches: the Cathedral of St. Seraphim of Sarov and a “small church” in honor of the Dormition which is located in the convent house. Also on the grounds are an adult home for the elderly, a guest house for visitors, and the largest Russian Orthodox cemetery in America. Next to the Cathedral is a newly renovated dining hall used for gatherings and meals after Sunday liturgy. The convent is also home to a newly renovated ‘Book Nook’ with an extensive collection of Orthodox books and icons.

Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Many visitors describe the church as a beautiful, unique, and peaceful place, filled with a spirit that brings joy and happiness, especially recommended for Sunday prayers. It's highlighted as one of the most serene places where one can find everything their soul needs.
Several reviews praise the church for its authentic Russian Orthodox atmosphere, mentioning the presence of wonderful and kind priests and nuns. The church and its surroundings, including a cemetery, are noted for being clean and well-maintained. Some visitors appreciated the opportunity to meet and talk with the iconographer restoring paintings in the church, adding to the unique experience.
However, there is a note of frustration from a visitor regarding the conduct of Father Artemy and his superiors, as well as the cemetery's administration, suggesting a lack of willingness to address certain issues.
Despite this, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the church's services and the sense of peace and tranquility it offers. It's described as a great place for prayer, reflection, and connecting with Orthodox Christian history. The church is also appreciated for its accessibility from New York and its non-posh, authentic vibe, offering candles and accepting donations.
One review shares a personal experience of attending a christening in the temple of Seraphim of Sarov, praising the high level of the ceremony. Another visitor expresses heartfelt thanks for being guided to this place, feeling the grace everywhere and appreciating the knowledgeable priests who help find solutions in any situation.
