Photo of the Day for August 18, 2014

The Apple-Blessing (feast of the Transfiguration) church service in Azdamichy’s church of the Holy Trinity is one of the parish’s most important feasts in the cycle of the year.  Families make a point of having their children and grandchildren take communion, and there is a special sense of joy and anticipation as parishioners await the blessing of apples at the end of the liturgy.
