The Apple-Blessing (feast of the Transfiguration) church service in Azdamichy’s church of the Holy Trinity is one of the parish’s most important feasts in the cycle of the year. Families make a point of including their children and grandchildren in the main rites of anointing (as here) and communion, and there is a special sense of joy and anticipation as parishioners await the blessing of apples at the end of the liturgy.
