An Orthodox cross floats in the Vltava River after the ceremony of consecration of water in honour of Epiphany Day on the embankment of the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Epiphany Day, celebrated by Orthodox Christians on January 19, is one of the Great Feasts of the liturgical year. The Epiphany marks the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. For this reason, the fest is strongly connected with water.
