Photo of the Day for May 27, 2012

Blessing of Easter Bread for Tsjerabljuki, Azdamichy, Holy Saturday 2012.  Асьвячэньне кулічоў для цераблюкоў і цераблічанак, Аздамічы, Вялікая Субота 2012 года.

After circling the church twice to bless parishioners’ bread with incense and then water, Father Aljaksandr circles a third time so parishioners can kiss the cross.  He carries out this blessing for parishioners from the next village who will not be able to make it to the blessing of bread after the all-night service on Easter Day.
