Hello dear friends, I’m certainly
always
glad to meet you today we have such a
not very planned trip to Riga
and there were a lot of important things
we managed to do everything quite
safely
So today
we had such a mainly
sightseeing trip, we filmed it all
our heroic Diana, under not
very favorable weather conditions, once
again I wish everyone the best possible
health
Greetings, dear friends,
circumstances today are not turning out as
we expected,
but since I’m here in Old Riga, I
invite you to join me and
walk to the small but very beautiful
Na my opinion of the Catholic Church Mary
Magdalene
On the way to the designated goal, you can
see other buildings that are interesting with their
architecture and
interesting stories, but we
will still pay more attention to the Church of Mary Magdalene
[music]
Here we are. We are approaching the main goal of
our journey,
the Church of St. Mary Magdalene,
the exact date of construction of this The church
is unknown, but the beginning of its history dates back to
approximately the end of the 14th century
until the 16th century, the temple was assigned to
the Celian convent,
the codes of the reformation, the Swedes established a Mint in the temple.
Only later did
the garrison probably the Lutheran church
in the 18th century, the church was installed by the
architect Vasiliev, the teachings of the lumbago and the
temple was transferred Orthodox
at the end of the 19th century, when the church was
transferred to the Alekseevsky
monastery, it acquired rich
decoration and in Kazakhstan a large
collection of icons and valuable utensils.
Later, the complex was transferred to the Catholic
Church.
What is interesting is that
this church is still the only one in Riga where
most of the meat is held in the
Latvian language. one of the dialects of
Latvia is
held only twice a month in
Latvian
and if you happen to visit Old
Riga,
be sure to Visit this temple and you
can feel for yourself
all the silence, peace and special
satisfaction of this place
[music]
Well, friends, we still have a little time left it’s
getting dark, and therefore I suggest you
go and see
what
pre-holiday Riga looks like now, or rather the
bastion park
[music]
By the way, for a moment I propose to
restore Near this interesting
building It has its own wonderful history
and few people remember that it was in
this building that the first Baltic theater was located
I would also like to add that from 1837
to 1839
in this theater, whether the conductor
was none other than Rich Wagner himself, the
influence of the Great German composer
on the theater and the cultural life of the city
was great, even though he
worked here for only two years,
moreover, sharp the city theater had a
noticeable influence on Wagner himself. And
through it and on the entire further development of
German theaters,
the composer was delighted with the
seats for spectators located in the amphitheater; he also
appreciated the somewhat
sunken floor pit for the orchestra; their
darkened auditorium during performances
had such an unusual darkening. It was
quite reasonable explanation calculated
risks merchants managing the theater tried to
save money on candles in this way. In
addition, the
wooden interior of the building, which prompted
the composer to baptize the Riga Theater
with a barn, contributed to the excellent acoustics of
the hall, which was probably noted by the trained
ear of the conductor, be that as it may,
Wagner took these four principles of theater construction with him when he hastily left Rio
later he embodied them during the construction of
his famous concert hall in
Bayrat,
but friends,
evening came unnoticed. I hope
you enjoyed the walk,
we are approaching our final point,
Bastion Park. Where you can
enjoy the light installations, I
hope you like it. And finally, I want to
wish you, friends, a Happy New Year
in each of we have something special inherent in us from birth. What
is charming is what
is given to us as a tool thanks to
which we can make our lives and
the lives of those around us at least a little bit
brighter, more comfortable, more interesting to those
who have long found their Magic
Tool and with joy and love
use it for the benefit of themselves and those
around them.
I wish in the New Year to discover new
wonderful possibilities of your incarnation and
shine even more power
to those who for some reason do not yet
believe that they have something
divinely
beautiful in themselves from the bottom of my heart I wish you to find a
miracle crystal in your heart it is
definitely there
God give you strength after all in the miracle of your heart,
show the will and help the heart
crystal shine with all its facets,
let every new day begin with a
feeling of gratitude to life with the joy of
opportunities to create, give, love and
just be.
Let it be possible to change what is
necessary. Let the heart accept what is
impossible to change and let it be able to
distinguish the first from the second
Thank you for the wonderful walk friends
Thank you for the fact that we create and
love together again
I hug my heart for a year
