Photo of the Day for August 15, 2011: Feast of the Assumption / Унебаўзяцьця

To mark the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  З нагоды Унебаўзяцьця.

The Roman Catholic mass for the Feast of the Assumption traditionally includes the blessing of a bouquet or basket of flowers, not only in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary but also in hope of a bountiful harvest.  The spicy fragrance of late summer flowers — chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias, zinnias — joyously fills the church.
