Father Nikolaos Sideras throws a cross into English Bay as members of the Greek Orthodox community prepare to swim into the water to retrieve it during the Epiphany cross dive in Vancouver, on Sunday, January 8, 2023. Whoever retrieves the cross and returns it to the priest is said to have greater luck in the year ahead. Epiphany is a major holiday in much of Orthodox Christianity celebrating the birth and baptism of Jesus. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck
