The Monastery Marcha is a monastic institution for women at 5095 Broadview Road in Richfield, Ohio[1]. It is under the omophorion of Bishop Irinej (Dobrijević) of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Eastern America[2][3].
The new church was constructed in 2000[4] replacing an older structure on the same site. The significance and uniqueness of the new Monastery Marcha church is its unique architecture of the Old World Morava architectural school, though revived in neo-Morava style.
History
[edit]When the Episcopal HQ of the Serbian Orthodox Church of Eastern America and Canada in Richfield moved to Edgeworth, two nuns arrived in 1974, Mother Evpraskija (Paunovich) and Mother Anna (Radetich), with the idea to establish a monastery at the site. There a decision was made to name the new monastery -- Marcha -- after the Old Country's Monastery Marcha which was destroyed twice and rebuilt twice in the twentieth century[5][6] [7].
In 1975, the new Monastery Marcha was officially inaugurated and consecrated as a women's monastery by the then diocesean Bishop Sava (Vuković). The abbess was American-born Anna Radetich[8] who was with the sisterhood from its earliest beginnings. In 1986 the building underwent extensive renovations. The manor was repurposed as a refectory (dining hall) and living quarters for the nuns. To support themselves and the monastery the nuns produce vestments, candles, and other crafts. Later, a cemetery was established on the property open to all Orthodox Chrisitans[9]
In 2000, the old church was demolished, and the current, monastery church was constructed in Morava Revival[10][5][11]
The Monastery Marcha celebrates its patronal feast day, each year on 26 July, the Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel, who is the protector of the original Monastery Marcha, built by Serbs in the 1500s in what was then Agram, part of the Habsburg Monarchy[11][12]
