New Valamo
New Valamo or New Valaam ((フィンランド語:Valamon luostari), or more informally, esp. in the postal address: ''Uusi-Valamo'') is an Orthodox monastery in Heinävesi, Finland. The monastery was established in its present location in 1940.
==The relocation of the monastery==
In 1939, during the Winter War, some 190 monks from the Valamo Monastery in Karelia were evacuated from their old abode on a group of islands in Lake Ladoga in the Viipuri Province to present Eastern Finland. The old Valamo Monastery was occupied by the armed forces of the Soviet Union quite soon after the outbreak of the Winter War.
After a temporary dwelling place the monks decided to settle down in Heinävesi in Eastern Finland. The choice fell on a mansion in Papinniemi, Heinävesi, after the monks had found there, quite surprisingly, an icon of St. Sergius and St. Herman of Valaam, the founders of the monastery in the 12th century. The monks considered this to be a sign from God.〔"Ortodoksinen kirkko Suomessa"( The Orthodox Church in Finland) (ed. by Fr. Ambrosius and Markku Haapio) (1979) p. 287〕〔"Orthodoxy in Finland, Past and present (ed. by V. Purmonen)(1984) p.41〕 Having received evacuees from the Konevsky (Konevitsa) and Pechenga (Petsamo) monasteries, it is now the only monastery for men of the Finnish Orthodox Church.〔"Orthodoxy in Finland, Past and present" (ed. V. Purmonen) (1984) pp. 41–42〕
