The monument of 3 meters high is covered with bronze, but the sculptor used the new sculpture technique, covering the bronze concrete blank.

Already 800 years Orthodox read Peter and Fevronia, but not everyone knows their history. In such cases I appeal to my girlfriend, which is a pious Christian. Paradise told me a sad story of strong and loyal love. Prince Peter helped his brother Paul, killing a cunning snake-tempter who was the honor of the prince's wife. A dying snake infected Peter by Ramazoa, and only Selyanka could save him from death, the daughter of the Bortnik, who earned the life of honey. Fevronia agreed to help, taking the promise from Prince that he marries her. Petr refused to marry after cure, but Fevronia was foreseen. One specifically left with it, the Strip caused a repeated ailment, and this time the prince kept his promise. After the death of Paul, the people opposed the unequal marriage of Peter - the heir to the throne. Together with the wife of peasant origin, the prince sailed from the city, but the starting excitements from the throne softened the rigidity of the courtiers, and Peter and his wife returned to the city. In old age, they went to different monasteries and accepted the victory. Loving spouses made a common coffin in advance and wrote a testament so that they were buried together. Surprisingly, Petr and Fevronia died on one day, and the ministers of the monasteries buried them in different places, considering the general grave not a godly. Tradition says that the next day the lovers lay in one coffin.

Michurinsky Park

Michurinsky Park was founded in 1890. Next to the spiritual school was the free territory that came to this project. However, in addition to students in the park, few people walked. For many years, the object was in short. In 1911, theatrians offered to organize an open stage on the territory of the park, but due to the lack of money, the idea did not implement. New story The park began in 1932, when Syktyvkar became the capital. Here trees were planted, set attractions and set the territory. Now in the Michurinsky Park you can come the whole family.

My former classmate Alexander is from Syktyvkar. She said that the locals do not know the history of this place. It is known that during its foundation in Russia there were few places for cultural holidayAnd Ust-Sysolsk was a small town, in which it was easy to dream about a public park. The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating has arisen just at the time when fashion appeared in the country for French and English parks. The tracks were to be connected in a beautiful web, and in her center there should have been a beautiful white gazebo. The garden was created, planted with limes and poplars, but Syktyvkars ignored the innovation. Sasha believes that this happened due to the location of the park. Then it was the outflow of a provincial town.
