Kirill of Turov monument, Religious monument in Gomel, Belarus.
The bronze statue stands 3.5 meters tall on a two-meter granite base, depicting the medieval bishop holding a prayer scroll.
The monument, unveiled in 2004, commemorates Kirill of Turov, a 12th-century religious leader who wrote numerous sermons and prayers.
The inscription on the scroll reads in contemporary language: 'O Lord Most High, save this town and this country from all evil.'
Located near the Gomel Regional Drama Theater in Kirill of Turov park, the monument serves as a central meeting point.
The monument's dedication ceremony coincided with Belarusian Writing Day, connecting the statue to the national celebration of literature.
