Theofania Celebration
19/12/2007
As every year on this special holiday, the waters are blessed with the throwing of the Cross. This is done to celebrate the christening of Christ when, for the first time in religious history, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit appeared simultaneously.
Hence the word Theofania which literally means the appearance of God. The cross is thrown three times into the clear waters of Matala golf and as tradition goes, any willing participant, jumps into the waters to catch the cross.The three winners will receive a price, which are usually golden jewellery, offered by different sponsors.
On this special occasion the association offers the bystanders traditional snacks and beverages in honor of the Theofania.
