Video from the archival material of RIK was published by the Municipality of Famagusta from the feast of the Epiphany in 1965.
The eulogy was performed at the Metropolitan Church of Agios Nikolaos, headed by the first President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios III.
At the end of the Divine Liturgy, a procession followed to the beach of Glossa where the ceremony of the sanctification of the waters took place.
Crowds gathered on the beach to watch the ceremony, while among the officials is the then Commander of the National Guard, George Grivas.
