4) Legend of the development of the temple says that he is standing there
 an ulterior motive, the legend, by the way, you can watch movies online at
 specialized sites. Earlier, before the advent of the holy palace here, on this
place was a lonely hermit shack believer, who was always happy to

 temple, they began to consider themselves in one piece with a
sacred institution.
