Photos of the Day for June 10, 2014

Procession, feast of the Holy Trinity, church of the Holy Trinity, Azdamichy 2013.

In the Orthodox tradition the priests and congregation process three times counter-clockwise around the church (Roman Catholics process clockwise).  On the third circuit the procession stops at four points — symbolizing the cross — for a priest to read from the Gospels and to bless the church and the assembled congregation with holy water.
