In Horadok, a mural dedicated to the Day of Belarusian Written Language is being completed

Decorating the cities hosting the Day of Belarusian Written Language with original murals has become a good tradition. This year, it was supported in Horadok. It is here, on the second and third of September, that the юбилейный, 30th, celebration will take place.

On the end wall of the building at 20 Sovetskaya Street, facing the central square of the district center, a mural depicting the coats of arms of cities that have been honored to host the Day of Written Language in different years is being completed. A cherry picker from the local Emergency Rescue Squad helps to reach the necessary height for creativity.

Svetlana Mozzharova, Head of the Department of Ideological Work, Culture and Youth Affairs of the Horadok District Executive Committee, provides details:

– We thank Vitebsk State University named after P.M. Masherov for the mural design, the latter being made in an old style. The head of the district, Irina Polyakova, appealed to the university's rector Valentina Bogatyreva, who, by the way, is a native of our district, and she responded with enthusiasm! The image application began about a week ago, and the work is now in its final stage.

In total, by the Day of Written Language in Horadok, there will be ten volumetric murals with quotes – both from classics of Belarusian literature and from famous local writers. For example, opposite the "Horadok" Cultural and Educational Center, one can already read the unforgettable "My native corner, how dear you are to me!.." by Yanka Kupala. In the children's park, one can admire the poignant quote by the poet and translator Vladimir Skorinkin, dedicated to his native Horadok district: "I was born on the land warmed by boulders..." Of course, there will be the well-known from school years "Did any of you know, brothers, Taras?.." from the classic poem "Taras on Parnassus". The place for the lines from this example of Belarusian burlesque is most appropriate – opposite the monument to Konstantin Verenitsyn, the author of the work.

Thanks to the efforts of cultural and educational workers, themed drawings appeared even on the boulders at the entrance to the district center, as well as at bus stops in the direction of Gorodok – Ostrovlyane. Specifically, along the tourist route "By the Paths of Taras". Guests of the capital of the Belarusian Written Language Day – 2023 will be invited on a fascinating journey through the native places of Konstantin Verenitsyn.
