The village of Diveevo appeared in 1559. There are several versions of the origin of its name. The most common version says that the village received its name after the name of the first owner — Nogai murza Divei, the son of Mokshev Butakov.
Later, at the end of the XVII century, the main part of the descendants of Divey (Diveeev) adopted Orthodoxy. Princes Diveev owned Prince Ivanov (now Maevka), which is 3 km from Diveev. In the second half of the XVIII century in Diveev was built a small wooden church in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Archdeacon Stephen. The location of the village of Diveeva at the intersection of pilgrimage roads made it possible for travelers who went to the Sarov monastery to find shelter and rest in the church.
Under its shelter for rest, the temple took the wanderer Agafia Semyonovna Melgunova, who in 1767 began to build a stone church in Diveev in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God (consecrated in 1772).
After consecrating all three chapels of the temple, Agafya decided to establish a community. In 1788, she received a gift from the landlord Zhdanova 1300 sq. sazhenas of land near the temple, where she built three cells with outdoor buildings. Everything necessary for life, including food, they were delivered from the Sarov monastery. Shortly before his death, Mother Alexandra was visited by Sarov elders and Saint Seraphim of Sarov, whom she asked to take care of the community. One of the Diveyevo shrines is the groove of the Mother of God, located on the territory of the Holy Trinity Seraphim-Diveevo convent. According to the legend of Seraphim of Sarov, the Antichrist in the last times will not be able to overcome it.
