Aloha!
Yesterday.. Oh, not yesterday. On the 25th of May my city celebrated its 1003rd Birthday! And I would like to share with you some historical facts about it and, of course, some photos I've taken during that evening.
So, the history of my city (which is by the way called Yaroslavl) started in the 1010, when the prince Yaroslav the Wise visited one unknown corner of his kingdom. There is a legend that says that when Yaroslav came here he wanted to build a new city on this place. But the people who lived here were wild and didn't want to give up their land. They sent the huge bear to kill the prince. But Yaroslav was very brave, so he fought the beast and killed it. People had nothing else to do but to call Yaroslav the ruler of their land. The city was built here and it was given the name of its founder - Yaroslavl.
Nowadays my city holds the 6th place among the best cities in Russia. It is a famous part of the Golden Ring, which is one of the tourists' most favorite destinations. A lot of people come to visit Yaroslavl every year.
Two days ago my city celebrated its 1003rd birthday. It was a huge deal for everyone who lives here. There were a lot different entertainments on the streets, everyone was happy. At the end of the day we watched the fireworks. And I have to say that it was one of the most magical days that I had here, even the rain didn't spoil anything!
Well, I really hope you liked this post and photos!
