    It looks Russian, not Romanian.

      I stand corrected. It's a small village north of Moscow. The site I pulled it from wasn't too clear. An image search showed me the original Pravoslavie gallery.

    Is that a reliquary at the head of the procession?

    That's a lantern. A Cross Procession is always headed by a lantern to light the way for the Cross, even if only symbolically.
