Photo of the Day for May 28, 2017

Belarus in Faces (part CCXX):  grannies during Marian Month (May), Prudy 2013.

These grannies were chatting on a bench after praying at a village Marian shrine — villagers in the Naliboki Wilderness (Nalibotskaja pushcha – Налібоцкая пушча) scrupulously observe the tradition of daily communal prayer to the Virgin Mary at roadside shrines.  They are holding switches to wave away the mosquitoes, which were especially numerous in the spring of 2013.
