Summary[edit]

Description
English: Devils at an aerial toll house, Rila monastery fresco.

"At left is the accompanying angel, and beside him the Christian soul. At right are demons holding scrolls showing the sins examined at that tollhouse. The white inscription at top center reads; МЫТАРСТВО Г Muitarstvo 3 (remember that Cyrillic letters can be used as numbers). Muitarstvo means "tollhouse" (plural мытарства — muitarstva).

So this illustration depicts Tollhouse #3. The word on the red demon's scroll — СРАМОСЛОВИЕ (Sramoslovie) tells us he is checking for obscene speech, and the grey demon's scroll reads for foolish speech — БУЕСЛОВИЕ — (Bueslovie)." (source)
