Here are the photos of the guys working on the cement in the garden for the barn, and the morning service by the river. The service lasted about an hour, very nice but the fog made us cold. We saw many people carrying baskets of food- mainly Easter bread and eggs and drink to the Orthodox church to be blessed.
After we warmed up with breakfast at Mc Donalds, we went to Victor's church for an Easter service with readings and special music. His daugher Dasha did one of the recitations, many other children an adults did also. Some sang, including a man who is 80 years old. He played accordian. Victor told us that n Soviet times he worked in mining and when it was found out he was a believer, he lost his position and had to work as a common miner.
After church we went Victor's home for tea, but it was really lunch. We had some very nice salads and fish before the tea and cake.
