I love that 1st photo of the priest pushing against the wind to bless the waters. How iconic of what actually happens at the spiritual level. That the cross turns back the waters of Jordon, crushing the heads of dragons that lurk beneath the water.
I know the priest in the top photo, he's wonderful. That photo first appeared in the newspaper a couple of years ago after Theophany - amazing, isn't it? Happy Feast!
