Arheologii au descoperit lângă Moscova o amuletă veche de peste 1.000 de ani, care îmbină motive creştine şi păgâne

Archaeologists in northwestern Russia uncovered an unusual 11th-century pendant blending Christian and pagan motifs, the oldest of its kind in the region. The copper pendant, found in Staraya Russa, features a Christian saint on one side and a figure resembling the mythological Medusa on the other. This discovery suggests an earlier Christian community than previously thought. The pendant's design reflects a complex religious landscape in Russia a millennium ago, where Christianity coexisted with pagan traditions. The combination of images may symbolize the triumph of light over darkness, according to researchers.
