Annotation

The article develops the hypothesis put forward by Metropolitan Ferapont (Kashin) of Kostroma and Nerekhta about the identity of the Kostroma Alexander Monastery and the Ipatiev Trinity Monastery, known from 14th century sources. In support of the dating of the monastery's foundation as a memorial to Alexander Nevsky in 1330, proposed by Metropolitan Ferapont, an assumption is made about the connection of this event with the Church Council held in Kostroma in March 1330 under Metropolitan Feognost of Kiev. It is also suggested that the main shrine of the Alexander Monastery "on Kostroma" for some time could have been the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God — as a relic associated with the memory of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky.
