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.

Добро је што су наградили људе одмах после Литургије 4. октобра, то је право парохијско. Интересује ме да ли је неко сликао сам храм Рођења Христовог у Лепљу, јер је он најлепши у том крају по мом мишљењу. Хвала оцу Сергију што је благословио овај конкурс.

Хорошо, что награждали сразу после литургии 4 октября — всё по-нашему, по-простому. Интересно, вошли ли в число победителей снимки нашего лепельского храма Рождества Христова, он ведь действительно красивый, особенно когда солнце на куполах. Спасибо отцу Сергию за такой конкурс.

To je hezké, že to spojili přímo s liturgií 4. října, hned po bohoslužbě. Zajímalo by mě, jestli někdo vyhrál s fotkou našeho chrámu Rождества Христова, protože ten zlatý kříž na slunci vypadá moc pěkně. Díky otci Sergijovi za ten nápad.

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?
