Jovan Radić (17) is the winner of the "For the Honorable Cross" event, which was held today in Budva.
The event was organized on the Christian holiday of the Epiphany in the Budva marina by the Church Municipality of Budva of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) - Holy Trinity Church, Stari Grad and the Sports Fishing Club.
High school student Miloš Radonjić from Tivat, a former junior water polo player in the Kotor VK "Primorac", is the winner of this year's Epiphany Swimming for the Holy Cross in Tivat.
Unlike the previous period when this religious event was held on Miholjska Prevlaka, this year, for the first time, the Epiphany Cross was swum in the center of Tivat - on the city beach near the "Palma" hotel. On a sunny and pleasant winter day, this year's Epiphany Swim gathered the largest number of participants so far, around 120.
The swim was preceded by a holy liturgy and the ceremony of blessing the water in the Temple of Saint Sava and a procession through the city towards the "Palma" hotel.
After Father Petar Petrović blessed the sea from the boat and lowered the holy cross into the water, about a hundred believers swam to him, and the fastest was Miloš Radonjić from Tivat, for whom this was the third time he had participated in the event.
The head of the Temple of Saint Sava, protosingel Pavle Pajić, then hosted the participants of the Epiphany Swimming in the Parish Hall, where he officially declared the winner and presented him with a special award.
