Title: Orthodox cross retrieved in annual festival.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PEO-29895 ORTHODOX CROSS RETRIEVED IN ANNUAL FESTIVAL BURLINGTON, Ont. -- An Orthodox youth holds up a cross triumphantly after retrieving it from the chilly waters of Lake Ontario prior to returning it to Metropolitan Athenagoras, head of the Greek Orthodox Church in Canada (center). Ten swimmers dived into the lake to recover the religious article during the annual Festival of the Holy Cross. First to find it was Nicholas Apostolopoulos, 24, of Toronto. More than 5,000 persons, some from New York, were present at the traditional Greek ceremony which commemorates the Baptism of Christ. In Greece, the rite is usually held in January, but in North America the festival takes place during warmer months. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RL-TOR-9C-63-NAB)
