Legend "Volozhin"

In ancient times, on the site of the modern city of Volozhin, a giant lived on a mountain and helped people throughout his life. His bride was beautiful, they got married and lived very happily, and loved each other. But the girl died, even before the wedding anniversary, and Volat died of grief after her. But until the last day, even grieving for his beloved, he tried to help those who lived nearby. And when Volat died, the place became considered sacred. And they called this place «Volat lived». Hence the name Volozhin.
