My one-day trip to Kostroma took place only for the reason that my girlfriend went there and I was very emotionally told me about it. She really liked the city and in a special delight she was from the Ipatiev Monastery. She described me as a terrible court in him in it, that I just went to go to the skin.
Therefore, Kostroma was still settled in my head in the list of places I would like to visit. I decided to compatient this trip at once with a visit to Yaroslavl, there to stay for the night and still take a walk, and to go to Kostroma for one day. We went there together with my young man. As we arrived, I decided to start an acquaintance with the city from its central square Ivan Susanin. Only the local for some reason, for some reason "fryingkin" is called.
The area is certainly very beautiful, very green and flowerfold many different. The first thing for us, of course, the ancient fire calane rushed into the eyes, which is still from the nineteenth century, well, and there is a huge number of pigeons, but it's like in Venice that.
Literally next to this area there are also vintage trading rows. By the way, they can be seen in many Russian cities, I have seen such in Kaluga. The city market is comfortably accommodated, then all sorts of small shops and a trail with various souvenirs of local production. Basically, linen products are sold - all sorts of towels, tablecloths, shirts embroidered, napkins, and so on.
Then we went straight to the Church of the Resurrection on Debra. She is just fabulously beautiful! And it looks as if from the old Russian fairy tale. But the main goal of our route was of course the Ipatiev Monastery. For the sake of him, we actually arrived in this city. Of course, it looks very beautiful and impressively directly from the opposite coast of the Kostroma river.
Well, at the entrance to the monastery as usual - the rages with all souvenir products and here also mostly products from flax. At the entrance, I dress as it should be the long skirt issued to me and we go to the heart of Kostroma - in a white-named abode with a richest history. The monastery was built just at the very place where the river Kostroma flows into the Volga. From ancient times, Kostromichy is called this place "arrow", well, after the monastery actually built here, then he had another name - Ipack Cape.
The main temple of the Ipatiev Monastery is the Trinity Cathedral with a belfry. In writing the frescoes within this cathedral, the most famous from the Volga Iconporates was involved - Guri Nikitin. If you make a route for the fascinating "Golden Ring", then his work can be seen in many old temples and churches.
Kostromychi, of course, are proud of their such famous countryman, who personally wrote icons for the milestone king Alexei Mikhailovich with the queen, and his work sent him as valuable gifts abroad. But the painting of the walls of the Trinity Cathedral in Kostroma was unfortunately one of the last works of the master.
Next after the Cathedral, we are straightforward to the royal draws or chambers of the Boyar Romanov. There inside the Museum of the Romanov Dynasty. There are a lot of things and items presented by the monastery with representatives of this old dynasty and the genus Godunov.
Next, we went to the candle hull of the monastery. It is there that are those expositions that interested me most - "the treasures of the Russian applied art of the sixteenth-nineteenth centuries" and the "church ancient times of the Kostroma land". And it is here that the carved icon of the "Terrchy Court" is located, about which my girlfriend said a lot. You can look at it for a very long time, it is impressive - not the word!
In another wing of the same case, the icons of the work of Kostroma masters, including the greatest pride of Kostromich, Guri Nikitina, are exhibited.
Well, then we still walked along the embankment, looked at the Ostrovsky's arbor (an accurate copy of the one in Yaroslavl) and on the marina, which was filmed in the film "Cruel Romance". Walks in the center, looked at the old buildings and went to Yaroslavl, because tomorrow we had the same interesting and rich day.
