Theophany of Our Lord - Blessing of the waters


On January 6th 2001 we had the celebration of the Theophany of our Lord. On that day, according to the tradition of Byzantine church, the waters are blessed. Many people brought their our own water to be blessed and taken home to the benefit of their homes and relatives. The holy water was aspersed over the people present to the liturgy. Here we have pictures of a few moments of the Feast of Theophany.
