"Щасливого Різдва"



"Щасливого Різдва" means "Merry Christmas" in the Ukrainian language.  Orthodox Christians observe Christmas on January 7...that's today!

To join in on the celebration here are some photos of Saint John the Baptist Orthodox Church in the Village of Hyas, Saskatchewan.


The three onion domes dominate the facade of the church.


A close-up of the cross on the central dome.


The bell tower has two bells...that's one more than usual.


A beautiful country church in late afternoon winter-light.
