Holy Saturday

The Holy Saturday liturgy is rather low-key, with the main celebration being the Easter Vigil tonight. However, a friend has sent a lovely video of last Sunday's blessing of the palms at St. Elias Ukrainian Catholic Church, which I'd like to share with you. The celebrant is Mitred Archpriest Roman Galadza.



No, they're not palm branches. Palms are rather scarce in the Ukraine, so the tradition is to use pussy willow branches. If you look carefully, you might be able to see Agent 5 somewhere in the congregation.
