Сочинение английский 5 класс "О храме Василия Блаженного"

St. Basil's Cathedral-under this name we see the greatest building of extraordinary beauty, which is located on the red square in Moscow. The full name of the temple - the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Mother of God on the Moat, which was built in 1555-1561 years.

In the 19th century, on the very place where the Church is now located, there was a stone Trinity Church. In 1552, St. Basil the blessed was buried at this Church, who was endowed with the gift of clairvoyance and predicted the trouble, a strong fire in Moscow in 1547. Tsar Ivan the terrible himself honored the fool and was even a little afraid of him. Soon they began to build a new Cathedral, where later the relics of St. Basil were transferred. A long and interesting history is connected with the construction of the temple. Its construction took place during the great Kazan campaign, which was given great importance. In 1552 Ivan the terrible personally, who led the army, made a promise that if the campaign ends in victory, he will build on the main square of Moscow's greatest temple. And after a significant event, a new temple was built. It caused delight not only among citizens, but also among foreigners: "and all merchants and ambassadors who looked at this temple, said that we did not see in any kingdoms, neither in others, nor in the, such beauty, and glory and force great".

By right, this temple was considered not only a great symbol of the capital of Russian cities, but also throughout Russia. And it is not only that it was built in the Center of Moscow in honor of a significant event, but also that the St. Basil's Cathedral itself is great and very good.

At first glance, the architecture of the Cathedral seems very complex. Unusual and the composition of the temple. The Cathedral consists of nine churches built on the same Foundation. The Central tower is hipped, with a magnificent "fire" decor. It is the axis of the whole composition. Eight other buildings are located on the sides of the world. They are made in the form of towers and crowned with domes similar to bulbs.

All baths are different and not one of the domes is not like the other. The pattern of each dome is different. But the main thing that distinguishes the temple is the lack of a pronounced facade. The shape of the tiered tower-pillar is dominant in the architecture of the Cathedral. She would tell him upward aspiration.

Between the pillars are extended chapels, decorated with three tiers of kokoshniks, which seem to raise the"head". Much attention is paid to the external decoration of the temple. The decor weaves it from the top to the bottom. As an architectural monument, St. Basil's Cathedral became the pinnacle of Moscow architecture of the 19th century.
