Epiphany 2007

It is a gloriously sunny winter's day and I have just emailed Mike Gadd lots of Out and About photographs to put up. In the meantime, here are two.

The first shows the Metropolitan and part of his procession as they arrive for the ceremony after Mass at St John's church. This is the second Epiphany ceremony of the day, the first having already taken place in Harani, the parish of Evangelismos. After the St John's parish ceremony the Metropolitan is then going over to Panormitis to officiate there. A similar ceremony took place in Pedi early this morning and the bells have been ringing since daybreak.


The second photograph shows the booth on the water's edge opposite Pachos. Trimmed with cypress boughs and crosses made of oranges, it is a traditional bower and many older Diaspora readers will probably remember similar ones from their childhoods.
