Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter: in pictures

Easter is always a day of happiness and joy for Melania Leskets who lives in Zaskavichy (between Maladzechna and Smarhon). Her grandchildren and local kids will come.

The village of Hotkavichy is not far from Zaskavichy. People mark the main Christian holiday at the local cemetery. The priest sanctifies Easter eggs right at the base of a former church.

Dozens of Easter candles have been lit annually near the walls of Alexander Nevski Church for over 160 years in Kreva. Stars in the sky create a special mood.
