During this year’s Epiphany celebrations in Athens, a mishap occurred when the Holy Cross thrown into the Athens Reservoir by Bishop Euripus Chrysostomos fell into the water. The cross was not properly tied, leading to a 20-minute recovery operation by EYDAP employees. The sacred object was successfully retrieved with the help of a pole, allowing the ceremony to proceed without further delay in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Mayor Haris Doukas.
