| Fruktovyi Spas, the blessing of the fruit in the Lavra or Cave Monastery in Kyiv. The chief priest, probably the archbishop of Ukraine. A monk holds a bucket of holy water for him and he dips in a feather brush and sprays the holy water on all those present and on the fruit. People try to get the holy water on themselves, not just on their fruit.
