EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical Epiphany celebrations in the beautiful bay of Patras, the vibrant regional capital of West Greece, nestled in the northern Peloponnese. The twelve days of Christmas have come to an end on January 6th, and this day holds a unique significance in Greek culture. The scene showcases the traditional ceremony of blessing the waters and the vessels that sail upon them. At the heart of the circle, a priest, clad in his religious attire, holds a large crucifix, ready to cast it into the chilly waters. The anticipation is palpable as the crowd gathers around the bay, eagerly watching the spectacle. Young men, undeterred by the cold, brave the waters in small boats, vying to be the first to retrieve the holy symbol. The crucifix's retrieval is believed to bring good fortune and blessings for the coming year. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Greece. The Epiphany celebrations in Patras are a testament to the deep-rooted faith and community spirit that continues to thrive in this picturesque city by the bay.
