Greek Orthodox Christians celebrated the end of the Christmas season in Turkey with a spectacular display, retrieving a wooden cross from the frigid waters of the Golden Horn.

According to Archons National Commander Dr. Anthony Limberakis, who presented the award to Biden, “The core of the spiritual mission of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is freedom, freedom in Christ to live at the utmost of our human potential.”

In a strange chronological coincidence, an icon of the crucified Christ on display in the church of St. Nicholas in Asprokambos began “weeping” as of January 25, the day of the general election of Greece’s new prime minister, Alexis Tsipras.
