Photo of the Day for November 3, 2011: Apple-Blessing Feast II / Яблычны Спас ІІ

Apple-Blessing Feast (part II), Azdamichy 2011.  Яблычны Спас (частка ІІ), Аздамічы 2011 год.

The Apple-Blessing church service in the central Polesian parish of the Holy Trinity (the villages of Azdamichy and Tsjerablichy) is one of the parish’s most important feasts in the cycle of the year.  This was the fifth time I have attended the Apple-Blessing feast in Azdamichy.  The celebration there is my favorite photographic subject in Belarus.
