Swimmers kiss a wooden cross during a ceremony to bless the water at Greece's Flisvos beach at Paleo Faliro, near Athens, on Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011. Similar ceremonies to mark Epiphany were held across Greece on riverbanks, seafronts and lakes. An Orthodox priest throws a cross into the water, and swimmers race to be the first to retrieve it.
