The statue of Sveta Sofia built in 2000 and replaced a statue of Lenin. Much controversial between the locals about this statue because the erotic appearance of it doesn't look appropriate to a Christian Saint. It is possible that the sculptor wanted to show the attractiveness of wisdom (sophia in Greek)

@ila_mou_ it’s beautiful indeed
@veksleroksana great you named her with wisdom
@svetlana_sao hey, I can’t quite understand what you mean
@tigerakos you have a point there
Unfortunately, this is a statue of Saint Sofia 🙁
Gorgeous ❣️
@levinatravels
@mishalininy well yes. It doesn’t look like a Christian Saint, but from the other hand, it is claimed that Sofia is not named after the the martyr Sofia but from ayia sofia which is the third person in Holy trinity. If the sculptor had this in mind then probably he wanted to show the beauty of wisdom (btw there is also an owl in her hand which is the symbol of wisdom too)
Τελεια!!!!
giannis.82. Yes, right! The problem of this statue is how to understand it
