Holy Thursday 2023 Photopost (Part 2)

Once again, I apologize for the slowness with which these posts are coming out. Part of the delay comes from the fact that we receive far more beautiful pictures than we can realistically hope to post, and to do even a modicum of justice to the photographers, I have to go through each album and try to select the best. Thanks as always to all the contributors, and may the Lord continue to bless you all through the Easter season - He is truly risen!

I especially like how the darker filter on these photos makes for such a strong contrast with the last picture of the altar of repose with all its candles.
