Blessing of Easter bread on Orthodox Holy Saturday.  Асьвячэньне кулічоў для цераблюкоў і цераблічанак.

The villagers of Tsjerablichy plan to build their own church.  For now they remain part of the parish of the church of the Holy Trinity in neighboring Azdamichy.  On Holy Saturday Father Aljaksandr blesses the Easter bread of those Tsjerabljuki who will not be able to attend the all-night Easter vigil and service.  He makes three circuits of the church.  On this, the second circuit, he blesses the bread with water.
