On National Unity Day, a monument was unveiled in Parapontovo in memory of the icon painter Dionysius and his sons. Worked at the end of the 15th century. Beginning of the 16th century. Dionysius is one of the greatest icon painters of ancient Russia. In the Vologda region, he and his sons painted the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary at the Prapontov Monastery in Belozero: this is the master's last known major work, and his only well-preserved frescoes. The monastery ensemble is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is the only cultural monument in the region with such status. The monument and chapel inaugurated that day in Prapontovo in honor of St. George the Victorious are the dominant features of the park "Dionysius Beach", a renewed public space on the shore of Lake Prapontovo, a joint initiative of the regional government and the Vologda metropolis. "The Chapel of St. George the Victorious is a tribute to the Russian army. We sacredly honor the heroes of the homeland, regardless of the ages and generations," emphasized Governor Georgi Filimonov: "We equally honor their exploits, help their families and honor the memory of the heroes who have passed away forever, who help us in the good, enlightened, good life, in our journey of God. The glory of the Russian land". TopGun. Northwest News in Max.
