Countdown to Epiphany
What is Epiphany (Theophany)?
Epiphany, the Theophany or Fota, commemorates the baptism of Christ. Across Greece priests bless the waters and throw a cross into the sea or a river for swimmers to retrieve. Since Law 4808/2021 the day is a mandatory public holiday in the private sector too, and it ends the twelve days of Christmas.
