This Joyful Day

Epiphany is one of the most colourful events on the holy calendar and this year was no exception. Vivid oranges glowing amongst the evergreen branches, bright blue and white Greek flags fluttering along with ecclesiastical bunting and the priests in their most splendid regalia.

A bitterly cold day with high cloud, there was some relief when the sun came out for the celebrations as the lightly clad participants stoically sat in the boats, awaiting the crucial moment. Over at Harani where the accompanying photos in this diary were taken there was a moment’s anxiety when the crucifix became entangled in the mooring line of a near by power yacht but the problem was quickly solved with a scoop net and no harm was done.

Have a good week.
