Easter at war.

24.04.2022. Mariupol, Ukraine. The church, like most buildings, bears the marks of the still ongoing war. The encirclement of the steelworks by Russian, DNR and Chechen forces did not prevent citizens from celebrating Holy Orthodox Easter. Thousands of people went to the church for the blessing, while bombings echoed in the sky.
