      • The monastery was founded in 1397 by Grand Prince Vasily I in memory of Moscow's deliverance from Tamerlane in 1395.
      • The name comes from sretenie, meaning "meeting": this is where Muscovites met the Vladimir Icon brought from Vladimir.
      • The Cathedral of the Presentation of the Vladimir Icon was built in 1679 under Feodor Alexeyevich, with murals from 1707.
      • In 1925 the monastery was closed, some buildings were demolished and the bells were sold to England.
      • The monastery was revived in the 1990s; from 1995 it was headed by Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov).
