Baptism of Safija in the Orthodox church of the Resurrection, Tsjerablichy (Pripet Marshes of southern Belarus), April 2018.

Father Vital' anoints Safija with holy oil (Chrismation) after baptizing her in water.  In the Orthodox tradition in Belarus, the godparents, not the parents, take part in the ceremony.  Thus here holding Safija are her godparents:  one of her first cousins and her maternal aunt.  In the background are Safija's maternal grandmother and, behind Father Vital' her paternal grandmother.

M2, Summilux-M 50/1.4 pre-ASPH v.3, HP5+ @ 250
