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)

Title: Anglican, Catholic prelates meet.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-29774 ANGLICAN, CATHOLIC PRELATES MEET TORONTO -- Meeting of the Anglican Primate and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Toronto. Dr. Arthur Michael Ramsey, left, and James Cardinal McGuigan are shown at the entrance of a Toronto hotel as they prepared for a quiet talk in the Anglican leader’s apartment. Cardinal McGuigan had suggested that he pay a courtesy call upon Dr. Ramsey during the course of the Third World Anglican Congress. Dr. Ramsey replied that he would be “delighted” at such a meeting. The two prelates met informally, accompanied by Mrs. Ramsey; Canon John Satterthwaite, Dr. Ramsey’s secretary; and Msgr. John O’Mara, secretary to Cardinal McGuigan. During the course of the Congress, the Anglican leaders said he would not be “surprised” if he paid a call soon upon Pope Paul VI at Vatican City.
