Photos of the Day for November 19, 2014

Working the fields before Pakrou, Rubjel’ 2014.

It is a strong tradition among Orthodox who celebrate Pakrou (the feast of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God) that they should conclude the year’s work in the fields by the October 14 date of the feast.  Thus the always-busy farm-cart traffic on the roads around the Polesian village of Rubjel’ intensifies in the days leading up to Pakrou.
