The Monastery of the Theotokos, also known as the Monastery of the Mother of God, is an Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is honored as the Theotokos ("God-bearer"). Such monasteries serve as spiritual centers where monks or nuns live, pray, and engage in religious work.
