Lighting up candles, St. Petersburg, Russia

I caught this picture inside of the Kazan cathedral on Nevsky prospect with a women lighting up candles. Russians are quite zealous people in religion. All women must wear a scarf overhead when entering a church. They light up candles and then sign and bow themselves in front of the icons. Some icons due to their importance, get kissed by people as well, who queue up for it.

I had to do this picture in hurry due that it was forbidden inside to take any pictures.
