Photographer’s Note

The scuplture was installed in Hincu Monastery.
In 1678, at the banks of Kogilnic river, in Codri (55 km from Chisinau) region was founded Hincu monastery. It was founded by Hincu boyar, at the request of his daughter, where she becomes a nun. But, because the wood church and nun’s rooms were numerously times attacked by Tatars during the XVIIth century, nobody lived there during this period. In 1835 a new stone summer church was built in Russian – Byzantine style, and in 1841 was also founded the winter church.
Near the monastery there are a lot of springs, one of which is mineralized.
