Notes
Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a March 2002 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata: "Reverend Desimir Vidovic prepares for the blessing of the new Serbian church to be built on Canada Way, in Burnaby, by burning a mixture of charcoal and incense. The smoke symbolizes prayers going up towards the heavens. The church, which will be built mostly by volunteer labour, is scheduled to be completed in 20 months. It will be the first Serbian Orthodox church in British Columbia."
