This is the midnight Eastern Orthodox Easter service at the Alexander Nevski Cathedral in the center of Sofia, Bulgaria. So many come that most have to stand outside the church, as you will see in the video. You will see the priest and bishops come outside to perform parts of the service. In the end all light candles for those who have passed on and then parade around the church three times. It was fun to experience.
