The Monastery of the Transfiguration was founded in 1978. It is an Orthodox female monastery, whose nuns are attached to the monastery of Simonos-Petra on Mount Athos (Greece). The monastery currently has six nuns, accompanied by Father Elie, founder, chaplain and spiritual father of the community. With regard to the monastic order, the Monastery of the Transfiguration is a metochion (dependency) of the monastery of Simonos-Petra and it is placed under the protection of the Saints Nectarius of Aegina, Simon the Myroblite and Mary Magdalene. As an accessory to its main vocation, the Monastery of the Transfiguration also takes on a pastoral character by welcoming many Orthodox lay faithful who come to attend liturgical services every Sunday as well as for feasts and receive spiritual teaching. The monastic community ensures its autonomy through its agricultural and artisanal productions:
A charmoise sheep farm, registered with the UPRA, intended for the production of breeding animals (rams and ewes) and lambs for slaughter.
An orchard of walnuts, the basis of a production of walnuts, kernels and walnut cream.
A jam-making workshop.
