"Trinity" - a monument located in the center of Yaroslavl, close to the arrows. Originally the sculpture was installed on the site of the demolished in the 1930s, the ancient Church of the Dormition of the altar. But later, in connection with the reconstruction of the cathedral, the monument was moved to the park near the waterfront.

The sculptural composition "Trinity" has been set to the 985 anniversary of the city in honor of the millennium of Christianity in Russia, as well as the memory of the destroyed in 1931 Assumption Cathedral (the temple was rebuilt in 2010 for the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl).

"Trinity" - a rather bold attempt to comprehend sculpture immortal creation Rublev and modern artistic design of the image. Currently it is the only sculpture of the Holy Trinity in Russia. In Orthodoxy allowed to portray a sculpture of Christ and only a very small number of saints: Paraskeva, George and others, and they are not often used in Russian churches. Exceptions are made only for the historical figures - Prince Vladimir and St. Sergius of Radonezh.

Yaroslavl is the master Nikolai Mukhin and I. Treivus created something unprecedented. Moreover, the very image of the Trinity they did not very realistic: simplified shapes and proportions, reminiscent of ancient frescoes, a table at the feet.

This monument was the cause of many disagreements, because the citizens of the sculpture of the Trinity aroused hostility. This composition was widely considered too bold manifestation of artistic perception of the Christian faith. Three angels depicted in the sculpture, not ordinary people associated with the conventional idea of ​​angels. Moreover, the "Trinity" has been installed on the spit like a sculpture park.

After the installation of the monument to the media broke the real storm. It seems that the people that sculpture was not to the soul, much more. The sculpture could destroy or remove from this place. But one of its author was Nikolai Mukhin, the most famous artist of Yaroslavl, a member of the Presidential Council for Culture. He foresaw such an outcome event and achieved an audience patriarch, a wise and enlightened man. Alexy II blessed the statue and requested the Archbishop of Micah sanctify it, which was done.

But despite the controversy over the appearance of the monument, he immediately became one of the main attractions of Yaroslavl. No tour is complete without a visit to this place, and it is on many tourist itineraries and brochures. Any tourist who falls in Yaroslavl, definitely visit this monument.

One of the modern tradition of throwing a coin in the cup at the bottom of the composition. Who and when I first did it - is unknown, but most visitors consider it their duty to throw a coin into the cup at Trinity.

"Trinity" in Yaroslavl - is an outstanding work of art. She and her solemn and profound calm postures of angels brings the same idea that the image of icon painting of Andrei Rublev. In this composition depicts the moment when the greatest decision taken Divine Son of God should come to the people, to save them. Three Angels - incarnation of God, they do not need words, it is a pretty gestures and attitudes, which attract attention and fascinate. In the sculpture can be watched for a long time, all the while feeling a sense of solemnity and holiness of the moment. The sculpture looks great from all possible angles, like any work of art.
