KillerPix Contest #29 - Theme: EASTER. Verba Sunday

Hi, dear Steemians!

Tomorrow we will celebrate Verba Sunday in Russia. This festival is closely connected with Easter. We have a tradition to bring sprigs of a verba tree to our houses before this day. But first we should go to a church with these sprigs.

Verba springs replaces palm branches because It's difficult to find palms in Russia if you don't live in Sochi. These springs are a symbol of the Lord's entrance to Jerusalem. This festival makes us think about the present and our life.

We should keep the springs for a year, from one Easter to the next Easter. They should be put next to icons. We shouldn't thruogh them away, we should burn them at the next Easter.

As for me, I can't say that I'm too religious person. I believe in Our Lord, but I don't follow all rules.

First of all, I like verba sprigs as a symbol of spring. They're so gentle and beautiful with soft grey buds.

Today I want to share with you photos of verba. My husband's bought a new smartphone Xiaomi Mi 6. And I decided to test its camera.

Here're my photos:

It's my favourite shot.

Just cute fluffy buds))

Then I decided to add some smoke. I don't have dry ice, that's why I use my husband's lungs. He smoked and blew)))

I'm not sure that I've managed with this task, but it looks interesting.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for reading!
