Photo of the Day for May 21, 2015

The evening of Holy Saturday a group of us drove 100 kilometers from Tsjerablichy to Daniljevichy to attend the undressing of roadside crosses and burning of the discarded cloths by village women (see photos of the day for May 13-16).

After the all-night Easter service in Azdamichy we again drove to Daniljevichy to attend the Easter morning rite of dressing the crosses and the shrine of the “girl turned to stone” in fresh runners and other cloths.

Easter Sunrise, Daniljevichy 2015.  Усход сонца, Вялікдзень, Данілевічы 2015 г.

Да ўсходу сонца памыцца,
Каб з сонцам разам
Клапаціцца ўвесь белы дзень
Не толькі з чыстай душою…

Рыгор Барадулін, з вершу “Да ўсходу сонца“.
