Photos of the Day for February 2, 2016

Fortieth-day wake (paminki) for Father Georgij Sapun (I/III), Pachapava 2016.  In the Orthodox Christian tradition family members and other parishioners hold wakes after the funeral, art or just before the 40th day, and at the one-year mark after death.  Here family and parishioners gather with Father Georgij’s widow to commemorate him.  Father Vasil’, the parish’s new priest, leads the prayer before the meal.
