Maria Feodorovna (26 November 1847 – 13 October 1928), christened Dagmar, was a Danish princess and Empress of Russia as spouse of Tsar Alexander III (reigned 1881–1894). She was the second daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Cassel; her siblings included Alexandra (Queen Consort of the United Kingdom), King Frederick VIII of Denmark and King George I of Greece. Her eldest son became the last Russian monarch, Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, whom she outlived by ten years.

Saint Xenia lived during the eighteenth century, but little is known of her life or of her family. She passed most of her life in Petersburg during the reigns of the empresses Elizabeth and Catherine II. After the untimely death of her husband, she fell into deep depression and eventually started wearing her husband's clothing, and insisted that she be addressed as "Andrew Feodorovich." She told people that it was she, and not her husband, who had died. After experiencing this spiritual rebirth, she started living a lonely poor life, but gave everything she had to the poor and eventually became greatly appreciated for her great virtue and spiritual gifts to the communities of St Petersburg. Her grave eventually had a chapel built over it and this is a monument to her on the side of the Philological faculty of St Petersburg State University.

This is a relief depicting classic Virgin and Child. The almost violent proximity between a mother and her child invented by  Donatello was copied many times, but the original creation is lost. The composition is named after one of these replicas, located in a street tabernacle in Verona. In 19677, the West Berlin Museums bought this work to fill a war loss; this acquisition turned out to be a modern forgery.

This statue of mourning Virgin Mary corresponds with John in the National Museum in Stockholm.

Asperges is a name given to the rite of sprinkling a congregation with holy water.

Abstract. The paper analyzes the foreign experience of developing recreational tourism in mountain areas through the model of the Alpine countries (Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy). It examines the key elements of the Alpine model – year-round tourism, diversification, cluster-based management, ecological sustainability, local community involvement and state support. The possibilities of applying this experience to the mountain areas of Uzbekistan, in particular the Turkestan Range (Zaamin, Bakhmal) in the south of the Jizzakh region and the Nurata Mountains (Forish, Gallaorol), are substantiated.

On the body of a huddled man dressed in a heavy robe, a nude woman stretches herself sensuously. With his face against the ground, the monk desperately embraces the cross to escape this fleshly temptation. According to tradition, St. Anthony, who lived alone in the desert, was haunted by visions of temptresses. This episode of the hermit's life is, however, only a pretext for Rodin.   The work must be seen from all sides in order to appreciate the full impact of the psychological and physical tension of the composition. The sculptor plays with the opposition between the closed and tormented body of the saint and the nude body of the woman, voluptuously writhing and open. The holy man is almost totally concealed within his rough garments, and his head is covered with a hood. The folds of his clothing convey the tension in his body. The features of his face, pressed against the cross, indicate his internal struggle. The woman is a luminous body without a soul. The different ways the marble is sculpted recall the different steps of creation and reinforce this antagonism. On the barely finished, nearly raw base, Rodin has indicated the roughness of the woolen cloth - and of the figure - with chisel marks. A polished marble finish capturing light and soft curves is used only for the body of the woman.
