Next to the <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/43/description">House Church of Saint Cyril of Turov</a> in Minsk, there is a bronze sculpture by Alexander Valentinovich Dranets. It depicts the Apostle John the Theologian, one of the 12 apostles and the author of the Gospel. John holds writing materials in his hands, symbolizing his works, and behind him stands an angel, representing divine inspiration.

The sculpture is crafted with great attention to detail and conveys a sense of spiritual calm and wisdom. The angel behind John emphasizes his closeness to divine revelation, which guided the apostle in writing the Gospel.

Sometimes visitors may mistakenly identify the figure as Saint Cyril of Turov, the church's patron. However, the characteristic elements — the writing materials and the angel — indicate that this is the Apostle John, who is traditionally depicted in this manner.

在明斯克的<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/43/description">圣徒图罗夫的基里尔宅邸教堂</a>旁边，有一座由亚历山大·瓦连京诺维奇·德兰茨创作的青铜雕塑。它描绘了约翰神学家，使徒之一，也是福音书的作者。约翰手持文具，象征着他的著作，而他身后的天使代表着神圣的启示。

雕塑以极大的细节刻画，传达出一种精神的平静与智慧。约翰背后的天使强调了他与神圣启示的接近，这启示引导了他写福音书。

有时，游客可能会误以为雕像是教堂的守护圣徒图罗夫的基里尔。然而，特征性的元素——文具和天使——表明这其实是使徒约翰，他通常被描绘成这样的形象。
