• Listening to Pupil’s reports

1^st pupil:

Chernihiv is older than Kiev. Many legends and ballads are connected with the city. According to one of them, Chernihiv was named for Prince Cherniy and his daughter. Another one says it owes its name to the thick, dark, surrounding cherniy (black) forests. According to folk legend Prince Cherniy was buried in Black Burrow not too far from Boldin Hills. The name comes from the slavish word Bold (Oak-tree). There were (and still are) many oaks there. Boldin Hills in Chernihiv is probably one of the most important historical sites in this ancient city.

2^nd student:

During the course of the Rus Empire, Chernihiv became a center of spiritual life in Rus. In 1069 the founder of the Kiev-Pechersky monastery, monk Anthony created an underground monetary. In 1239 Chernigov was captured and destroyed by Tatar-Mongol invaders and in 1649 the monastery was restored by the Cossack colonel Stephan Podobailo who dubbed it his "Sky Protector". He was later killed in in 1654 in a battle for independence for Ukraine. Some believe that the underground caves of the monastery can cure people of their illnesses. Many people, not only from Ukraine, but from Russia and Belarus visit these caves to get energy from them.

3d student: Chernihiv Val (Rampart) is the name of the former fortified center of the ancient town. This forested park is a favorite place to visit with spectacular views. Nowadays, boat rides can be taken up the river to see some of the surrounding forests. These 45 minute cruises are well worth the time. Within the neighboring area of the park sits Our Savior Cathedral which was built in 11th century. Nearby is Borysoglebsky Cathedral which is considered one of the first constructions in the city.

4^th student: Chernihiv is famous for its churches. The most famous is the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Savior, one of the oldest churches in the Kyivan Rus, built about 1017 by Mstyslav, the younger brother of Yaroslav the Wise. St. Katherine Church, on a hill opposite the dytynets, was completed in 1715  . There are a total of 12 old churches in Chernihiv worth exploring. It is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions and many people come here to hold their marriage ceremonies in nearby Trinity Cathedral. There are three underground wooden churches on the grounds of Anthony's Caves. Two churches at the monastery are worth a visit: the Troyitsky Cathedral (1679-1695) and the 1677 Presentation church with its five-tiered bell tower.

5^th student: The V. Tarnovsky Regional Historical Museum, founded in 1896, is among the oldest and most popular in Ukraine. Highlights are archaeological finds from the burial mounds, including arms, jewelry, and everyday objects from the Kyivan Rus period, like Gulbishche's sword. It is really worth visiting.

Right beside the city's main theater is Pyatnitskaya Church. It was built at their expense and named after their protector (patron) of trade, Paraskeva Pyatnitsa. It is believed that there is a stone in the church which possesses a magical force: if one is to touch it and make a wish, then their dreams will certainly come true.
