Patras, Greece - Epiphany Celebrations
The celebration of Epiphany in the Bay at Patras, the regional capital of West Greece, located in northern Peloponnese. On the stroke of January 6th, the twelve days of Christmas officially come to an end. This day takes on a special meaning in Greece. This card shows the special ceremony of blessing the waters and of the vessels that ply them. A priest hurls a large crucifix into the waters and young men brave the cold and compete to retrieve it. Date: circa 1910s
