Good to see the Water Blessing service tied right into the "Boroda" festival at the Ascension church in Malye Korely. Our parish did something similar last summer with the hiking club—simple outdoor moleben, then everyone shared tea from thermoses. Did they have a big crowd this time?
Yes, tying the water blessing right into the Boroda festival makes good sense—keeps things grounded instead of feeling tacked on. We did a short moleben by the lake last year with our gardening club before the picnic, and the turnout was small but the tea from thermoses really hit the spot. How many folks showed up for yours with the hiking club?
