After the Divine Liturgy, the Service of the Blessing of the Water was conducted, prior to which His Beatitude Anastasios explained to the believers the order of the service and after that he spoke briefly on the meaning of this great feast, when all creation is honored and renewed, and the world receives new light. The first part of the service was conducted inside the cathedral and at the end of the service moved outside for the Blessing of Water and throwing of the cross in the reservoirs.
