Photos de la grande bénédiction de l'eau à la théophanie à l'Église de Tous-les-Saints-d'Alaska, Victoria aux côtés des fidèles de l'église orthodoxe grecque Ypapanti de Victoria.

It had been many many years since the faithful of St Mark at Yorkton had blessed water on the lake. Last year plans where put into place to do this, but the -40 weather discouraged many.

This year, the forecast was for -4 weather, and it was decided to go ahead, for Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning the weather looked good. By the time that afternoon had rolled around, it was only -6 but a good Saskatchewan blizzard had rolled in. The weather was now with winds of 50 km with 4 cm of snow falling.
