Taken somewhere between 12:30 and 1am Pascha (easter) morning. We’d just finished processing around the parish, reenacting the myrrh-bearing women’s trip to the empty tomb in the early morning. Upon entering the parish, all the lights were finally on and the chandelier was swinging. The boy to left left wondering at the giant, swinging chandelier was just brought into the Church the previous afternoon.

Wow: a swinging chandelier. What fun. :) And a great photo and a beautiful parish.
That thing creaks and moans terribly when it's flying around. I should have use a slower shutter speed so you'd really get the feeling of just how much it's moving. I'm pretty sure that most of us are waiting for it to just fly off one of these days!
Dude! You were back there?! How'd you do that?
Actually, what strikes me most is how empty it looks -- this was after the first fourth or so had come back in. I'd love to see it packed, the way it was about 20 minutes later . . .
I had the camera on a tripod in the window with a tethered remote to fire it off. We've got a couple of shots with the full crowd, but it still doesn't look that crowded.
