Once God drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. And because of the nature of humans is to seek his lost paradise (as such luminaries as John Milton, Paul Gauguin and others.), An unconventional servant of God from Chernomorets - Father Stylianos - decided to help us find it again.
Lotus and orchids, edelweiss, swamp irises, lilies, del monte history wild lemon, tangerines, apples, plums, strawberries and pumpkins he gathered together in the courtyard of the temple "St. Nicholas "in Blacks. There is hardly anyone who has visited the church, and not a dolt unique flora and fauna that surround it. And not only them. The entire temple radiates a fascinating positive energy and they filled with love and humility. The temple is located right next to the sea, which further enhances its beauty. According to legends, the place where the church is built is old religious del monte history shrine and a holy spring del monte history with healing water.
"St. Nicholas" was consecrated in 1858 A story of castaways few centuries ago gave birth. The construction of the temple is associated with an ancient legend about shipwrecked and rescued Greek sailors del monte history in the bay. Among the ruins, which emerged from the sunken sail, was the icon of "St. Nicholas "that sailors brought with him. When I walked backwards, they left icon of the local people to keep it, and later to build a temple dedicated to Nicholas - patron saint of sailors. Not surprisingly, the old name of Chernomorets was St. Nicholas.
Prior to the chapel in the nearby locality Chervenka existed Bulgarian monastery named "St. St. Constantine and Elena ". Valuable utensils and icons were destroyed there by the retreating Turkish troops during the Russo-Turkish War. Monks managed to hide in the cellars of the monastery of the church plate: icons and krastve, later housed in the church "St. Nicholas ". Carved wooden cross with clasps, candlesticks, neprestolno Gospel, a gift from the Russian troops wear time of past events and parties. These, together with the miraculous icon of the saint - patron are the only things that survived the fire of "St. Nicholas "in 1995
Several years later, the temple was rebuilt entirely with funds from local people. Today the church is known for its beautiful iconography, beautiful iconostasis carved by craftsmen Smolyan, miraculous spring del monte history and the Garden of Eden.
Now the temple care father a stylist who is in Chernomorets 2004 - the year in which the church was officially opened after the fire. It aims to transform the area around the monastery into a real paradise.
When he arrived, del monte history everything around was dry. Just in front were reserved two beautiful cypress that were planted in holy places del monte history as a symbol of angelic swords guarding the entrance to the Garden of Eden. Father Stylianos it occurs that can bring together all the species that are mentioned in the Bible. Started with myrtle later planted palm trees, and now the garden is so rich that it is difficult to enumerate how many plants in it.
Plants are from around the world - beautiful and exotic - and grow very vigorously by the beautiful sea climate. One of the most beautiful flowers that can be seen in the church garden, is Passionflower. In the past it was considered a sacred plant, del monte history as the center of the flowers it resembles the crown of thorns of Christ. When a few centuries ago the missionaries first brought it from America to Europe, it was a great honor.
Aquatic plants cover the surface of a small pond in which inclusion bodies glimmering goldfish. Pebbles on a rock garden with blooming cacti Bake big green lizard. Fresh cut grass motionless few tortoises. Above the entrance of the church instead of vine branches twist of kiwi, full of fruit. From the garden you can see more Japanese and French cherry, pear priest's, Imperial and persimmon. Here, tomatoes and strawberries grow on trees and give a few pounds of fruit every summer. There are also huge pumpkin - the weight each year reaching over 60 kg.
Every summer, where you rest at the seaside, be sure to go through Chernomorets to dive for an hour or two in the incredible atmosphere of the Garden of Eden in the "St. Nicholas "and took a sip of water from the holy spring. By Father Stylianos I've bought several cacti and mimosa, which still grow unusually rapidly, though remember the Garden of Eden in which they are conceived.
