Chania Crete photographer, images from Epiphany Day in Chalepa and Apokoronas.

My journal

 

Epiphany Day is the ceremony were an Orthodox priest throws a cross into the water and swimmers race to retrieve it. Similar ceremonies to mark Epiphany Day were held across Greece at the sea, rivers, lakes and dams.

The swimmer, with the cross then goes around town and collects money in exchange for a blessing.

This was a family day for us as for many others. We chose to watch the cross thrown into Koloura cove in Chalepa, Chania then spend the day and have lunch at the wonderful Tzitzikas cafe restaurant in Armenous, Chania Crete Greece.

We as individuals love it and when we can we try to pass this on to our little girl Penelope.Traveling with a child is not that easy but compared to others with many kids I can’t complain. Penelope handles the planes, the layovers, the car rentals and the mixed cuisines with charm and ease. Visiting the Canary Island this past November was no exception. We all had the time of our lives. And how couldn’t we. It was November and we were at Lanzarote hanging out on the beach sun bathing! This was part two of m ...

Q & A with filming / editing mini workshop with cinematographer Hector Torra in Chania Crete, Greece.

One of them is Hector Torra.

A stone for stability and a foundation for the New Year beginning and an icon saint protector for spiritual protection. Followed by the cutting of the Vasilopita, these are some of the most known t ...
