Description
Summary:Wooden chapels are a bright and typical phenomenon of the traditional culture. The chapels were non-altar temples of a small peasant parish, which retained their independence, providing a special atmosphere for performing rituals. The work examines the reasons for setting chapels according to historical and typological characteristics and the specifics of the formation of their architectural and structural features. The empirical base of the research was the material of 36 architectural and ethnographic expeditions, archival and museum sources of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions, Karelia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, NAO. Рассматриваются деревянные часовни, представляющие типичное явление традиционной культуры. Часовня – безалтарный храм молитвенных собраний жителей малодворных деревень, малых крестьянских приходов, сохраняющий автономность существования. Исследуются причины постановки часовен по историко-типологическим признакам и специфика формирования их архитектурно-конструктивных особенностей. Эмпирическая база исследования – материал 36 архитектурно-этнографических экспедиций, архивные, музейные источники Архангельской, Вологодской областей, Карелии, Москвы, Санкт-Петербурга, НАО.
