To commemorate Pentecost:  roadside shrine, Papshychy 2014.

To honor their long-ago deliverance from the plague, the villagers of Papshychy in the Hlybokaje District of northern Belarus celebrate Pentecost by carrying a long, special homespun cloth in a procession from this roadside shrine to an early-morning Mass at the village’s cemetery chapel.

З нагоды Спасланьня Сьвятога Духа:  прыдарожная каплічка, Папшычы 2014 г.

Рана раніцай на Спасланьне Сьвятога Духа вяскоўцы Папшыч зьбіраюцца ў гэтай прыдарожнай каплічкі й носяць адмысловую намітку, тканую ў вёсцы, на могілкі, ля якіх сьвяткуюць сьвятую Імшу ў капліцы.
