WAR-RELATED DAMAGE: On 28 January 2026, a Russian drone strike on Odesa damaged buildings on the monastery grounds, with one building partially destroyed and reported casualties nearby. The monastery also houses the Odesa Theological Seminary. This is a factual disruption finding, not a statement about pilgrim hosting capacity either way — current ability to host overnight guests is unclear post-strike and not documented.
General Serbian Orthodox monastic-stay custom: overnight stays require the blessing of the abbot/abbess, arranged in advance by phone or in person. At a men's monastery, male pilgrims may stay in the konak; women are typically directed to separate lodging nearby. A modest fee or donation is common but varies by monastery. This is general custom, not a monastery-specific guarantee.
