St. Elisha Lavrishevsky Monastery. The Lavrishevsky Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Belarus. It was founded around 1225. Over time, the monastery, having gathered a large number of brethren, became a lavra, where St. Elisha was the first abbot. On the night of October 23/November 5, around 1250, St. Elisha was killed by his young servant, who committed this act while in a state of darkness from the devil. The murderer himself was healed from his madness through an accidental touch to the relics of the saint. The saint was canonized by Metropolitan Joseph Soltan at the council in Vilnius in 1514.
