1. Sun City from the top of the mountain Dry. They live in settlements exclusively followers of the Church of the Last Testament. Sun City was conceived as a unique ecological settlement, in which humans live in harmony with nature and to develop spiritually in harmony with the teachings of Vissarion.





Vissarion's followers often try to get out of the villages in the district (Peter and Paul Fortress, Cheremshanka Gulyaevka etc.) And ride in the City of the Sun on the liturgy and meeting with teachers themselves (so-called Vissarion). To get to the promised place, first we drove 80 km along the dirt road to the village of Peter and Paul Fortress Kuraginsky District of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and then survived two o'clock bumps on the road to gruzovike- "vahtovke» («Star-266» Polish production). The last three kilometers walked.

All visiting pilgrims from neighboring villages and guests lodge in a camp. Tents are no not at all, it is detached from the settlement of a group of wooden houses. And men spend the night on the first floor, and women - in the second (it does not matter whether composed of M and M married). Here in the camp there is a dining room, where we were fed three times a day.



Plan Sun City at the entrance of one of the houses. In its settlement plan repeats the so-called Star of Bethlehem with fourteen rays - a symbol of Vissarion (January 14 - the birthday of Vissarion), and the streets are poetic names: the Milky Way, Children's dreams, Moon flowers, gentle dreams, the eternal quest, the solar wind, Diamond grew , crystal gates, wood spirits, mischievous rainy shimmer secrets, Silver Springs, Singing Mountain, Star field.

Many greenhouses and large gardens, where each family must provide a fully foods. To supply the children with milk and eggs keep goats and chickens.







The most unusual item in the city, which immediately catches the eye - no fences between sites. Also not seen or heard of guard dogs.



In the city center there is a wooden sculpture of an angel - vissarionovtsami interpreted as a symbol of their faith. This place is holy. Here, getting around the sculpture of an angel, a morning, Sundays and public liturgy. And this is the only place where caught weak cellular signal.

Finally we reached the top of the mountain and went to the "Altar of the Earth." She sings a capella choir, the priest reads the prayer ... What is happening is not like the service in the Orthodox Church, the feeling is that this is all happening in some fantasy world, so this action is unusual. Moreover, the people are dressed in bright clothes.



"Altar of the Earth" - an easy and elegant structure, within which there are symbols of the four world religions (the union of all religions on earth - one of the ideas the doctrine of Vissarion).





Prayer at the altar of the earth lasts about half an hour. Then everyone starts way back.



Before you start to go down, we are lagging behind and the procession went to the observation deck next to the bell tower. With this bell tower five times a day the bell tolls.
