"candle of Yaroslavl" Review
The 100-foot-tall "candle of Yaroslavl" is actually a belfry for two churches, Ioann Zlatoust (St. John Chrysostom, 1649) and the miniature Tserkov Vladimirskoi Bogomateri (Church of the Vladimir Virgin, 1678). The former is a larger summer church, ornately decorated with colorful tiles; the latter is the more modest and easy-to-heat winter church. From the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Savior, it's a 1-km (½-mi) walk (or two stops on Bus 4) across the bridge and along the mouth of the Kotorosl to the churches and belfry.
