Monument to the Monk Gerasim
mayakovsky street, Vologda, Vologda region, Russia
Description:
The sculpture of St. Gerasim, the founder of Vologda, was opened on the embankment of the river on June 28. The monument was created by Moscow sculptor Oleg Uvarov.
The figure of the saint made of bronze and copper with a height of 1 meter 20 centimeters is located at the intersection of Mayakovsky and Burmaginsky streets, next to the monument to the 800th anniversary of the city. The monument to St. Gerasim was erected in this place not by chance. This is actually where Gerasim went.
The sculpture is installed so that residents and guests of the city know who founded Vologda and brought faith here. Also in memory of the founder of Vologda, the chapel of St. Gerasim is being built in the Peace Park.
