Changes

In 1989, the monastery was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. On [[July 17]], 1989, a [[Divine Liturgy|divine liturgy]] was served on the first anniversary of the glorification of Andrei Rublev as a [[saint]]. The cathedral of the monastery now functions as a parish church.

While old records note that St. Andrei was buried in the cathedral, the location of the grave has been lost long ago. Thus, the myth of it being lost after the Bolshevik revolution is just that, a myth. At the end of the eighteenth century was the time a slab of his tomb was seen. Records noted that his grave may have been buried under the bell tower that was built at the start of the nineteenth century, the tower that was destroyed in the 1930s.<ref>[http://www.pravoslavie.ru/jurnal/culture/spaso-andronikov.htm Spaso-Andronikov Monastery (In Russian)]</ref>
