Spiritual character of Chekhov's stories is evident. His story ”Bishop” is marked by obvious Christian symbolism. This story is full of Christian light of belief, holy pray of confession, purgation and soul enlightenment. Descriptions of Nature there are presented as frame structures that carry actual information about symbols of Christianity, the author's concept and the true plot of his stories. Fragments of Nature descriptions add liveliness and reflect most important symbols of Christianity-the Sun, the Moon, the Heaven, Stars, Water, the Tree, and the like.
