Description
Orthodox Christians swim in the Drina River in eastern Bosnia to mark Epiphany, the annual commemoration of the baptism of Jesus celebrated on January 19 by the Serbian Orthodox Church. “It's a great honour for me. It's impossible to put into words what I'm feeling, you have to experience it,” says one participant. A total of 29 people, including one young woman, swam towards a "Holy Cross" located 33 metres away, symbolising the age of Jesus Christ's death. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
