Photos of the Day for June 16, 2019

Kissing the Artos (special Easter loaf symbolizing the Resurrection).  Easter Day vespers service, Azdamichy 2019.

The tradition of kissing the Artos is always a splendid occasion to witness two fundamental expressions of Belarusian culture.  First is the transmission of faith from parents or, more often, grandparents as they lift children to kiss the Artos.  Second is the specifically Belarusian way people place their hands in reverence.

Цалаваньне артаса.  Велікодная вячэрня, Аздамічы 2019 г.

Падчас цалаваньня артаса можна сьведчаць перадачу веры ад пакаленьня пакаленьню ды адметнае й прыстойнае пастаўленьне рук.
