Church of Assumption of Virgin Mary in Budslav
The community of the church, disproportionate to the scale of the former village, and now of the usual village, immediately captures the attention of every guest. The church will force everyone to throw aside everything that he was busy on the road before his gaze met this fascinating stone block. Obviously, this was the psychological calculation of the Bernardine fathers, who built their residence here in the second half of the eighteenth century, in order to make "I will praise" from it, where Budslav went from. In 1613 a miraculous icon of the Mother of God appeared here and the place became a real center of pilgrimage. In 1767-1783, in connection with the increase in the number of pilgrims who arrived in Budslav, the Bernardine fathers unfold here the grandiose construction of a new church that was eight times larger than the old one and was consecrated in the name of the Ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To bow to the miraculous image and appreciate the interiors of the legendary church you will be able to during this excursion. -

Church of the Mother of God Shkaplerna in Myadel
The Church of Our Lady of the Scapular in Myadel is a majestic late Baroque temple with Rococo elements, built in 1754. It was founded at the monastery of the Discalced Carmelites and for a long time remained an important center of the Catholic faith in the region. The architectural pearl stands out with its octagonal dome and unique cross composition. During the Soviet era, the church was used as a warehouse, but in 1989 it returned to the faithful. In 2019, hidden relics were discovered within its walls - the relics of saints and ancient parish books. Today, the temple is being restored and attracts tourists interested in the history of Belarus. Excursions to Myadel allow you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and admire this unusual architectural monument./p>
