"Looks like Woodstock"

I don't recall any signs and symbols of traditional religious devotion or holiness at Woodstock, but then again I'm old and my memory isn't what it used to be.

“Looks like Woodstock.”

That is what first popped into my mind, as well.

Why would Christian Europeans and Americans emigrate to Russia? Know-it-all Freepers say it is communist…

A lot of them went there hoping for a religious experience.

Looks kind of like they walked a long way and had a picnic.

Some background on Saint Irinarkh, and the history of the procession/ pilgrimage.

I think those are actually black/yellow/white, which of course is an old Russian flag.
Or maybe blue/yellow/white (in which case, I don't know what they are).
