In the Karin Sea, in Gornji Karin near Zadar, for the second consecutive year, the traditional swimming for the Holy Cross was held on the occasion of Epiphany.
This is the second Epiphany swimming after 70 years. This year’s swimming was organized by the Serbian Orthodox Church, Parish of Ravni Kotari.
It is an Orthodox custom that gathers believers and visitors, and this year about 40 competitors took part. Around a hundred people attended the ritual event, cheering on the participants and taking part in the celebration of the holiday.
The first to swim to the Holy Cross was 27-year-old Lazar Kanazir from Mokro Polje, confirming his skill and courage in the cold waters of the Karin Sea. Beside him, all competitors showed exceptional readiness and perseverance.
