My parish did our usual blessing of the nearby headwaters of the Missouri River today, the Sunday after Theophany. I somehow captured this of Fr. David throwing the ice cross into the river with my 5-year-old iPhone SE. We’ve used an ice cross ever since Fr. David’s attempt to tie a cross to a string failed spectacularly several years ago. 🙂 #Christianity #Orthodox #Theophany

A photo of an Orthodox priest in white vestments wearing a black hat with no brim, a gold pectoral cross on a chain, and long black gloves. The priest’s arms are extended, his vestment robes are billowing out, and the pectoral cross is suspended in the air. He’s standing on the bank of a river  under a mostly cloudy sky. A large cross made of ice that he has just thrown is suspended several feet out above the water.

@mgrinder Our parish has a wooden cross into the base of which a metal eye has been screwed. The rope is securely tied to that eye.
