In the sewing workshop of the Novo-Tikhvin Monastery, unique souvenirs are embroidered, which can become a memorable gift and decorate any house for Christmas and New Year's Eve..

Each year in the embroidery workshop they develop new gifts with a Christmas mood. The most original development this year - embroidered toys on a Christmas tree. Sisters for the first time embroider bright Christmas balls of shiny fabric, festive red bells with embroidered gold deer and toys with traditional winter themes: a Christmas candle, a smart tree, a slender deer, a fluffy squirrel, birds on snow-covered branches of mountain ash.

"These images for toys are not chosen by chance. A candle, a deer, a bell are traditional Orthodox symbols, meaning a person's love for God, joy about God. Do you know how the custom of decorating a Christmas tree for Christmas appeared at all?

People really wanted to express their joy, that Christ was born, wanted everyone in their house to talk about the triumph, jubilation. And for this purpose they came up with decorating their houses and putting in a prominent place a Christmas tree with a Christmas star on top, all decorated with bright toys and burning candles - like a big lamp lit in honor of the Lord, "the sisters say..

Do in the monastery and other unusual Christmas gifts: embroidered watches, elegant bags, panels and elegant embroidered Christmas cards.
