Excursion to the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Mirozhsky Monastery and acquaintance with the frescoes of the XII century of its main temple – the Transfiguration Cathedral, which is the oldest preserved on Pskov land, is included in the UNESCO list of sites, it is a heritage of world culture.
The monastery at the confluence of the Mirozhka River with the Velikaya was the guardian of one of the entrances to the ancient city and a cultural center. The Pskov chronicle was kept in it, a list of the "Words about Igor's Regiment" was created in the copyists' workshop, and the icon painting workshop was glorified by the masters.
The Transfiguration Cathedral was built in the 12th century and is frescoed by Byzantine masters. The picturesque monument belongs to the pre-Mongol period of Russian history and is original. Using Greek techniques and precious materials, the craftsmen took into account the Pskov realities and the Russian character.
About 80 percent of the frescoes have been preserved, and a colorful narrative from the life of Christ unfolds in front of the audience, understandable to a simple glance and those looking for complex symbols. The walls and vaults of the cathedral preserve the picturesque Gospel, which has survived nine centuries and remains a monument to the history of Orthodoxy and a perfect example of art.
