St. Nina’s Orthodox Christian Cemetery
Saint Nina’s Orthodox Christian Cemetery is, along with our Church, the very heart of St. Nina’s Monastery. Located on gently rolling hills, it is a place of repose, but also a place of meeting. It is the place where all of the Sisters will await our Lord, along with each person entrusted to us by their family and interred here alongside us. It is part of the One Church, the Body of Christ.
But St. Nina’s Cemetery is more than just a place. It is the prayers of all of us, every day and night, embracing one another. The Sisters always and ever commemorate each one interred at our Cemetery at the Divine Liturgy, at Trisagion Services for the departed and in unceasing prayer of the heart. This prayer, this holy ministry, is our honor and our joy.
