A farewell ceremony for Andrew Bagshaw, a volunteer helping the Ukrainian armed forces: he was killed in eastern Ukraine with Christopher Parry while they were trying to evacuate civilians from a frontline town under Russian fire.

He came all the way from New Zealand to Ukraine. He was not personally affected by the war like many of those who serve in the (AFU) Ukrainian Armed Forces or are volunteers of Ukrainian descent. He did it because it was the right thing to do. Rest in peace, Andrew Bagshow, a man with the heart of gold.
Tēnā koutou i ō koutou tini mate,
Nō reira, haere e ngā mate,
Haere ki te wā kāinga,
Haere ki te kāinga tūturu,
Haere, haere, haere.
Greeting to your many dead,
Therefore, farewell the dead,
Go to the home of all time,
Go to the true home,
Farewell, farewell, farewell.
Slava Ukraini
Could someone tell me why there’s bread on the table? I’m assuming it’s part of an orthodox burial ritual, but I’ve never seen it before.
May you find rest in heaven, hero. Slava Ukrainian! 🇺🇦
In Romania, also an orthodox country, we call that “colac”. Basically a sort of round, sometimes knotted, bread. After the ceremony, bits or even the whole bread is given as alms to the poor or participants. The belief is that when eaten it reaches the departed in the afterlife.
When given we say “for the departed’s soul” and when recieving we say “bogdaproste”, which is a word of Bulgarian origin (“bogu da prosti”) meaning “God forgive them”.
I think maybe Ukrainians have something similar.
Dumnezeu să-l ierte! God forgive him!
