The Epiphany is celebrated also in Greece, the 6 of January, with the difference that they celebrate the baptism of Jesus by St. John The Baptist in the Jordan and not the visit of Jesus by the Magi. There is usually a ceremony in major ports such as Piraeus and Patras, besides rivers and large lakes of the country. The priest during the celebration throws a cross into the water, several swimmers will dive to try to retrieve the cross, the winner will be blessed throughout the year.
