Photos of the Day for January 14, 2017

Eastern Orthodox great feast of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God (II/V).  Azdamichy, December 4, 2016.

Mirroring the feast day itself as well as the feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas on February 2 in the west, Sretsjen’nje Haspodnjaje on February 15 in Eastern Orthodoxy), two mothers bring their newborns to have Father Aljaksandr present them to the Lord.
