Scenes from the service of Forgiveness Vespers on the eve of Lent (last night) from the Optina Monastery.
The rite of mutual forgiveness where each monk in turn goes to everyone of his brethren and says “Forgive me a sinner.” To which the other replies “God forgives and I forgive.” This rite is also performed in most parish churches.
Is that anything like the Great Pokemon?
Oh, I thought this was about Pokemon Go.
