The sanctification of the waters
Hundreds of believers flooded the old port of Chania for the sanctification of the waters in the presence of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The good weather helped the brave who decided to observe the Epiphany custom and dive into the cold waters of the harbor to catch the cross.
The diving of the cross was done by the Metropolitan of Kydonia and Apokoronos Damascenes.
Boats and boats were from early on in the old harbor in front of the platform where the Metropolitan would throw the cross, while some of the swimmers a short time before the dive to catch the cross were captured on Flashnews.gr’s lens.
