Orthodox feast of the Transfiguration (Apple-Blessing feast – Jablychny Spas), August 19, 2019.
Blessing of apples in Azdamichy. Father Aljaksandr, accompanied by his three-year-old grandson Maksim, made three circuits of the churchyard: in turn censing the fruit, sprinkling the fruit with holy water, and then offering the cross for parishioners to kiss before they hurried to the cemetery to place blessed fruit on the graves of their forebears.
