convents and monasteries

Convents and monasteries are among the most common features mentioned in the Handbook.

The Samolet Steamship Company schedules warned passengers that when ships called at monastery wharves, such as at the Tolgsky, Nikolo-Babaysky (Babaika), and Reshemsky (Reshma) monasteries, they would stand for ten minutes and would refrain from sounding their horns during prayer times.
