Paphos celebrated Epiphany with splendor after a period of severe weather. Hundreds of faithful and visitors gathered in the coastal area of Kato Paphos to attend the Blessing of the Waters, with the Archbishop of Cyprus Georgios and the President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides in attendance.
