Orthodox Christians celebrate Epiphany - AP
AP reports: "Wednesday is Epiphany, a major holiday in much of Orthodox Christianity
celebrating the birth and baptism of Jesus. Religious services are held
as well as Blessing of Water ceremonies at lakes, rivers and seafronts.
But in Russia, Serbia, Ukraine and other Orthodox countries that observe
a different religious calendar, it is Christmas Eve. Roman Catholics
and Protestants, meanwhile, celebrate the story of the Wise Men who
followed a star to Jesus' cradle."
