Blessing of Bread for Orthodox Easter, Holy Saturday, Azdamichy 2012.  Асьвячэньне кулічоў для цераблюкоў і цераблічанак у Вялікую Суботу, Аздамічы 2012 год.

The parish of Azdamichy’s church of the Holy Trinity in the central Pripet area of Polesia still incorporates the neighboring village of Tsjerablichy, although Tsjerablichy has now started to build its own church.

On Holy Saturday Father Aljaksandr, helped by two of his three sons, blesses the Easter bread of those Tsjerabljuki who will be unable to attend the all-night Easter service ending in the blessing of bread at dawn on Easter Day.
