Uniforms can sometimes hide the person behind it. Especially those that are life choice, like a robe of the priest.
Here we have V. Rev. Ilija Balach, a parish priest in a Serbian Orthodox Church St.Sava in Issaquah, and his grandson having some fun. Robe didn't stop this grandfather in stuffing the cross in the pocket, and kicking the ball a bit. Nice, simple fun and love that every kid needs.

BTW, today was Easter (Orthodox churches use different calendar than catholic church), and for Serbian people, in addition to the religious part of the proceedings, there is celebration with live music, excellent food, and refreshments.

Ускрс се овде прославља. Стварно прославља. Српска црква у Исакви је место где се људи срећу и лепо проведу. Религија и обичаји могу да се одрже, али дечји програми, жива музика, пиће и одлична клопа свакако помажу популарности.
Током прославе, Отац Илија се искрао да се малкице поигра са унуком, показујући да мантија не спречава деду да шутне лопту и усрећи унука.
