Easter blessing at Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Just round the corner from my apartment was the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, a beautiful Hapsburg church looking out on the river. On Easter Sunday a huge crowd was gathered waiting to be sprinkled with holy water, by this very jovial priest, who was clearly enjoying the soaking he was giving people. He seemed to have industrialised the process by using a giant paintbrush.
