The Cherepovets Resurrection Monastery (Russian: Череповецкий Воскресенский Монастырь) was founded in the late 14th century by two Christian Orthodox monks Feodosy and Afanasy, followers of Sergius of Radonezh. The future place for the monastery was wisely selected on the hill near the junction of the Sheksna River and the Yagorba River, abundant with sturgeon and other freshwater fish.
The monastery laid the foundation for the future city of Cherepovets with city status granted in the year 1777 by Catherine the Great. The Church of Resurrection had been completed between 1752 and 1756.
