CONVENT OF SAINT ELIZABETH THE GRAND DUCHESS OF RU
The small, beautiful Convent of St. Elizabeth the Grand Duchess of Russia is tucked away in a forested area of rural Scott Valley, a few miles from the town of Etna, located in the far north of California. Established in 1984, this traditional Greek Orthodox convent is a dependency of the Holy monastery of Sts. Cyprian and Justina in Phyle, Greece and is under the spiritual direction of the founder and abbess, Mother Elizabeth, and His Eminence, the Most Reverend Bishop Auxentios of Etna and Portland, who resides at the nearby St. Gregory Palamas Monastery.
