The master ceramists of the St. Petersburg company set to work on a unique porcelain Christmas tree. As a New Year's gift, it was presented to the suburban economy of the Uspensky courtyard of the Optina Pustyn monastery, which is located in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad region.
The work on the unique object was carried out with great care. The experience gained in the creation of porcelain domes for the Church of St. Prince Igor of Chernigov at the Patriarchal courtyard, in Peredelkino near Moscow. First, the tree was designed on a computer in a 3D environment. On the basis of this three-dimensional model, a metal frame structure was developed, on which porcelain elements in the form of pyramids were then installed. As a result, the tree turned out to be avant-garde, unusual, but at the same time similar to a real forest beauty. It was crowned with a star, which is a separate work of art.
Created according to the author's project, the star contains a ceramic panel depicting St. Virgin Mary with baby Jesus in her arms.
We have already found a suitable place for an amazing gift. The abbot of the Uspensky courtyard, Hegumen Rostislav, and the director of the company working on the creation of tiled fireplaces and stoves and who created this miracle, Konstantin Likholat, jointly decided that it would be best to install a porcelain Christmas tree on the site, next to the Blagoye Mesto hotel. The hotel building is unusual and in itself is an art object, since its walls, both outside and inside, are painted with vivid drawings, mainly depicting pictures of rural labor.

It is impossible to establish the exact time period for the appearance of snipers. The closest thing to the truth is the statement that the jaeger military units stood at the origins of the sniper craft. During the rule of linear tactics, these units were formed by the most well-aimed marksmen, who operated in loose combat. The first jaeger battalion in the army ranks appeared in Russia in 1764. And although the gamekeepers are considered the predecessors of modern snipers, there was a significant difference between them

The tree of hope: a Christmas tree with 7 thousand paper cranes
Every December, hundreds of paper cranes flock to San Francisco to decorate the world's most hopeful tree. The project, which started 5 years ago, merged two traditions - western and eastern, because cranes make nests on the Christmas tree. Origami figurines perform not only a decorative function - good wishes are written on each of them. Paper birds for the Christmas tree are signed and celebrities. Among people who believe that the crane is better on the spruce, h
What is the world famous for the porcelain empire of the Kuznetsov family: Dulevo porcelain
Only about a century and a half ago, the flourishing of porcelain production of white clay products of the highest quality began in Russia. They were valued very highly and were considered a sign of good taste and wealth of the owners. And this miracle was produced by the factories of the "porcelain king" Matvey Kuznetsov, who created an entire "porcelain empire" in the Moscow region. However, the peak of the porcelain rush is a thing of the past, and traditional Russian porcelain, made literally until recently, has become an object of collection
