St. Sabbas Orthodox Monastery, located in Harper Woods, Michigan, is a [[monastery]] for men that follows the patristic [[Julian calendar]] and Russian [[typikon]]. The monastery was founded in 1999 as a center for liturgical arts in conjunction with traditional monastic standards.
The monastery is situated on an approximately six acres estate that includes the monastery Katholicon[[http://www.stsabbas.org/church.html]], the library[[http://www.stsabbas.org/library.html]] of over 6,000 books, the [[abbot]]'s quarters, the [[metropolitan]]'s Archpastoral apartment, the [[Refectory|trapeza]], gift shop, candle shop, and bakery. Ground will soon be broken for the artisans' studios.
The monastery is surrounded by gardens[[http://www.stsabbas.org/gardens.html]], fountains, and mosaic shrines, very much in the style of the ancient monasteries of Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Romania.
