The Orthodox parish of Azdamichy-Tsjerablichy holds its annual name-day feast on the Tuesday after Trinity Sunday (the third day of Trinity), June 5 in 2012.  A dozen or more priests from neighboring parishes and the Pinsk-Luninjets eparchate take part in this service along with Azdamichy’s parish priest Father Aljaksandr.  Here one of the visiting priests anoints parishioners with holy oil, a rite that takes place during the first half of the five-hour-long liturgy.
