In May 1942, the division went back on the offensive and Witt's battalion was again committed to action in the recapture of Rostov on Don.

| | | | | Bulgarian: Encyclopedia II - Gadulka - Construction The body and neck of the instrument are carved out of one piece of wood, the body forming a bowl or gourd like a lute. The top (soundboard), of straight-grained softwood (pine???) is also carved, with a shallower arch. The overall construction is quite heavy compared to, say, a violin, though some gadulkas are exquisitely built.

| | | | | Bulgarian: Encyclopedia II - Slavic mythology - Cosmology According to the Book of Veles, Slavic religion recognizes three realms: Jav, Prav and Nav, Yav being the material world, Nav the immaterial, and Prav being the laws that govern them. The emphasis on the three realms is particularly characteristic for the Slavic neopaganists that draw on the Book of Veles.
The main symbol of ancient Slavic cosmogonic ideas was the World Tree. Slavs imagined that all three realms are vertically situated on a gigantic oak tree, that holds the whole Universe. In its crown was Slavic Heaven/paradise, so c ...

Pochayiv Lavra - Origins.

The legend has it that the Theotokos appeared to the monks in the shape of a column of fire, leaving her footprint in the rock she stood upon. This imprint came to be revered by the local population and brethren for the curative, medicinal pr ...
