Map
The “Birth of God’s Mother” monastery is situated close to the Kabile reserve, 6 km from the city of Yambol.
In 4-5th c. the monastery was a big religious centre. Later it became an Orthodox
Convent until the fall of Bulgaria under Turkish rule, when it was destroyed. The memory of the magical spring of the monastery was handed down from generation to generation. In 1918 an elderly woman from the town of Sliven found the spring after a prophetic dream. At this place one small chapel appeared, built by rich people, around which a monastery was gradually erected. The construction of the monastery lasted until 1944 with funds from donations.
