Hundreds of Greek Cypriots take part in Epiphany celebrations in the Turkish occupied north of Cyprus

Hundreds of Greek Cypriots took part in Epiphany celebrations in the Turkish occupied northern Cyprus in Famagusta and Ayios Andronicos.

Against the backdrop of crumbling hotels and homes ringed with barbed wire, a Greek Orthodox priest cast a cross into the sea, symbolising a blessing of the waters, and the manifestation of Jesus as the son of God.
