Orthodox Easter. The night of Christ's resurrection. According to the ritual, the flame of the Resurrection brought from Jerusalem reaches every church in the country before midnight. At midnight the priests come out of the churches with their lit candles and shout to believers who come to attend the service of the Savior's Resurrection "Come and take the light!" People light the candles from the priests and then from each other until everyone has the candles lit. One of the moments of the ritual this night is that the crowd surrounds the church three times with lighted candles in their hands. Due to the lack of space around this church, in this case only the priests and a small procession surrounded the church. The circle of light seen in my photo is the light of their candles .
