Trinity Sculpture, Religious memorial and statue in Yaroslavl, Russia
The Trinity is a bronze sculpture group in Yaroslavl's Strelka park, set on a low circular base edged with small square tiles. Three robed figures bow slightly forward with hands held low; the dark, matte metal falls in heavy vertical folds. Behind it stands a white building with gold onion domes.
The statue was built in 1995, after the Soviet Union collapsed and people could openly express their faith again. This memorial symbolizes the rebuilding of religious traditions and institutions in Russia during that era.
The sculpture is the only sculptural depiction of the Old Testament Holy Trinity in Russia, made by artist Nikolai Mukhin with sculptor Elena Paskhina and architect Igor Treivus. It was unveiled with the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II, and Archbishop Mikhey (Kharkharov) consecrated it. It stands near the foundations of the Assumption Cathedral destroyed in the 1930s.
The site is reachable on foot through local paths and has parking nearby for visitors with cars. Paved paths surround the memorial and are accessible throughout the year.
