On January 6, Greek people take part in various traditions and ceremonies to celebrate the Epiphany. The most important ritual on this day is the "great blessing of the waters" which is performed by a Greek Orthodox priest. The tradition is that a priest throws a special cross into the sea and many brave young men and boys dive into cold water competing eachother who would be the first which will swim faster and retrieve the cross.
