The project will cost about 20 million rubles. The park will occupy 0,5 hectares. About 40 of 120 plants mentioned in the Holy Scripture will be presented there, website of the Vecherniaya Moskva website reports on Monday.
“We need support from authorities to make our plans come true. The park that we want to set up in Moscow have only one analogue, it is located in Israel and is called Neot Kedumim,” designer of the project, vice-president of Russia’s Architect Union Igor Voskresensky said.
Only those trees, bunches and flowers that can survive and grow in local climate will be planted in the park.
“There will be an oak, an ash tree, a birch, daffodils, roses – a symbol of Jesus Christ, lilies – a symbol of the Holy Virgin, a willow – substitute for palms,” Voskresensky explains. “And to substitute plants that are mentioned in Bible, but can’t grow in our climate, there will be copies made of bronze.”
Biblical Park to be set up in Moscow
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
