Nice to see the local churches getting some attention through photography. My favourite bit is that they held the awards right after the Liturgy on 4 October – feels properly tied to parish life. Wonder if any of the winning shots were of the Nativity church itself.

It's good that they rewarded people immediately after the Liturgy on October 4, that's right parish. I am interested in whether anyone has taken a picture of the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Leplje, because it is the most beautiful in the area in my opinion. Thanks to Father Sergius for blessing this competition.

It’s good that they awarded it immediately after the liturgy on October 4 - everything is our way, in a simple way. I wonder if the photos of our Lepel Church of the Nativity were included in the winners; it is really beautiful, especially when the sun is on the domes. Thanks to Father Sergius for such a competition.

It's nice that they connected it directly to the liturgy on the 4th of October, right after the service. I wonder if anyone won with a photo of our Church of the Nativity, because the golden cross looks very nice in the sun. Thanks to Father Sergius for the idea.

I liked that too — tying the awards straight after Liturgy made it feel like part of normal parish life instead of something separate. The Nativity church itself took a couple of the top spots, including one early-morning shot with the first light on the domes that my wife keeps going back to. Did you enter any photos yourself?
