| Metropolitan of Varna Joan sparkling sprinkling with Holy Water at Epiphany Holiday Ceremony-Yordanovden .In Bulgaria, Epiphany is celebrated on January 6 and is known as Bogoyavlenie `Manifestation of God`, ÃÅ¡Ãâ¬ÃÅ Ãâ°ÃµÃ½Ã¸Ãµ ÃâþÃÂÿþôýõ Krashtenie Gospodne or `Baptism of the Lord` or Yordanovden `Day of Jordan`. On this day, a wooden cross is thrown by a priest into the sea, river or lake and young men race to retrieve it. As the date is in early January and the waters are close to freezing, this is considered an honourable act and it is said that good health will be bestowed upon the home of the swimmer who is the first to reach the cross |
