A wonderful revived tradition! Belarusians are doing well! In the evening in Brest for 20-30 minutes you get into a fairy tale, like Mary Poppins. Crowds of adults run after the lamplighter, because he takes us back to childhood and a miracle for a while! On the last day of his stay in Brest, a monument to the lamplighter's magical wish-fulfilling button was unveiled. Health to Viktor Petrovich and prosperity to the city!

Beautiful sculpture. The clock shows the time when the lamplighter will arrive.I didn't even know that such a tradition of lighting lanterns had been preserved in Brest.If you are in Brest, be sure to go to Sovetskaya Street, wait until the lamplighter arrives and you will not regret it.It's an amazing sight.

The lovely tradition of lighting lanterns now began at 9.30, but as I understand it, it generally depends on the time of the year, at what time exactly they are lit. The lantern is not lit alone, Viktor Petrovich lights 17 lanterns in turn. Therefore, it is not necessary for everyone to crowd at the first one - you can just stand at anyone, and after a while your flashlight will be lit. During the ignition process, of course, the crowd is restless, everyone scurries after the lamplighter from lantern to lantern. The sight is both sweet and a little scary at the same time - especially when overly active people reach out to hold onto his buttons and create a commotion, preventing Grandpa from passing. But the process itself is touching, it's worth seeing at least once.
