Blessing of the school uniform ties?

I was going to say the blessing of the suspenders but I think I spy the word “victory” in the background with black and white pictures which makes me think it’s something morbid to do with WWII and/or continuing to sell the idea that the invasion of Ukraine is Great Patriotic War II: Electric Boogaloo.

Sorry I revealed it. You may delete my comment. But a mystery lives on – they are already wearing them, so the ones on the table are for somebody else. Do the students give them to people on the street?

I saw the photo on my phone and thought that on the table was a massive amount amount of bacon. I was going to say that the priest is blessing the food that Saint Putin mercifully put on the table today.
But alas, it’s not bacon.

My first thought was that someone was performing an exorcism on a rug. This tells you how much I need my friends to come home so we can watch scary movies.
