"Coat of arms of Minsk - St. Virgin's Ascension shows St. Virgin in red and violet clothes on a silver cloud. She is ascended into the sky by two white flying angels with two cherubs above them. This emblem was granted to the city in 1591. According to the legend an icon of Ascension arrived to the city up the stream of the river Svisloch from Kiev ruined by the Tatars. "
