Orthodox Easter falls on May 2 in 2021.  It is a tradition in many parishes for the priest to bless parishioners’ Easter bread in the afternoon of Holy Saturday.  This practice was all the more prevalent in Azdamichy in eastern part of Stolin District in Polesia (Pripet Marshes) to accommodate parishioners from the neighboring village of Tsjerablichy until Tsjerablichy completed its own church in 2014.
