The Monastery of the Epiphany is now the Archbishop of Kostroma’s residence. The large cathedral in this 14th- to 19th-century complex is the city’s main working church. The 13th-century icon of Our Lady of St Theodore, on the right-hand side of the iconostasis, is supposedly the source of many miracles.
