Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will arrive on the isle of Gavdos, Greece’s southern-most territory, on Friday to attend the annual sanctification of the waters service on the occasion of the Theophany, or Epiphany, a major religious feast day in the predominately Christian Orthodox nation.
Conversely, President Katerina Sakellaropoulou will arrive on the northeast Aegean Island of Limnos to attend the ecclesiastical services there.
The sanctification or blessing of the waters ceremony will be held coastal sites around Greece, as well as at rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
