People in a Petrozavodsk, in Russia's north-western Republic of Karelia in Russia are stunned when they discovered what they called the highway to heaven in their city. This is a 3 feet wide crater into a holy site and want to change the name of the road, but Russian officials say that is unlikely to happen.
Elena Tretiakova, said: "I have lived here all my life and I swear I have never seen this hole before and it has never been here before.
"Where it came from I don’t know.
"Where it came from I don’t know.
"But it looks to me like it is a sign, a sign from God, to spread the message of love."

"But it is unlikely to happen.
"But it is unlikely to happen.
"Cordoning off the road is impractical and it would cost too much money to build a new one to service all the traffic, just because of a hole in the ground."
