RE: Church of the Ascension - Centuries-Old Architecture Gained a New Life

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Greetings @danny.green. The strategic decision to transform the Church of the Ascension from a wooden edifice to a stone masterpiece was definitely an excellent move. The dilapidated original building was clearly unsafe to continue parish services. The golden domes of the new site impress me the most, as they are the most iconic architectural features I usually see in Eastern European landmarks of religious importance. Belarus, on the other hand, has its own enormous share of these magnificent masterpieces. Amazing story! Best wishes! 😊

Hello @storieserne! I am surprised that they decided to give the wooden church a second life. It doesn't happen that often. I also like golden domes - they attract attention perfectly. I also like the fact that the organizers decided to leave the wooden church as a monument to wooden architecture. Thank you very much for your attention and support! and best wishes! 😊

By the way @danny.green, have you created your new Twitter account already? And by any chance, do you happen to know @frank1in? It seems both of you hail from the same region.

I will make a new twitter account soon. Thanks for the reminder, that got out of my head. 😊
I'm not familiar with frank1in, but his posts are similar to my region. Even if not, it is definitely in one of the CIS countries. Interesting.

Alright, @danny.green. Thank you for the update. Happy Easter! 😊

I congratulate you on the Great Easter holiday! I am Orthodox and we will have Easter next Sunday, and today we have a holiday "Palm Sunday". This is also a great church holiday. Today I wish you a good day, blessings and all the best! 😊

Oh, that's absolutely wonderful! All the best to your holy celebrations as well. Congratulations and have a blessed week ahead! 😊
