The blessing of the waters in Pythagorio at Theofania

January 6 is the day of Theofania or Epiphany and here in Greece it is also the day of the Blessing of the Waters, to commemorate the baptism of Christ in the river Jordan. The priest blesses the waters by throwing a cross in the sea. Young men then dive into the cold water to find it and receive a secial blessing from the priest.
Καλή χρονιά σε όλους με υγεία! Και του χρόνου!
