The celebrations will begin from the Ayia Napa Church with the Church Service for the Epiphany which will be followed by the baptism of the Holy Cross and the blessing of the waters at the Ayia Napa Harbour with the Paralimni Municipal Philarmonic Band and a Corp of the National Guard as well.

The most reverend Metropolitan of Constantia - Famagusta area Mr Vasilios will be the Head of the Divine Service with the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Enviroment also.

After the Priest has baptised the waters by throwing in the Holy Cross, the first Swimmer to bring out the cross will be awarded a prize. Afterwards, Cypriot and Greek Traditional dances and songs will take place at the harbour by the "Klironomia Sotiras" Folkloric group and the "Paradosi Liopetriou" Cultural Group.

 This event will bring to a close the Christmas events for this holiday period.

Again, the staff of "Visit Ayia Napa" wish you a Happy New Year 2008.
