Founded in 1953 as parish church of Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos in Cossack settlement New Kuban. The revival of the parish began after the transformation of the parish Church to The Hermitage of The Holy Protection (The Skete) in August 2015. Since 2016, the Skete celebrations are held every Sunday and holidays.
The Skete is home to Orthodox Christian cemetery. The brethren care for the grounds and tombstones, and those who wish can purchase land for family burial.[2]
