As we reflect on water, we invite you to  take a quiet moment to enjoy this moving display by award-winning filmmaker and photographer, Haik Kocharian. Blessed by Water shares rare images of tradition, ceremony, and spirituality as celebrated by the Christian Orthodox community in Ethiopia. Epiphany, called Timket in Ethiopia, is attended by thousands in the capital city of Addis Ababa, to celebrate the baptism of Jesus.

As we see worshipers in states of spiritual connection as they are dampened by water sprayed from towering pipes, these intimate photographs bear witness to people gathered by the joys and blessings of water. We invite you to sit quietly for a moment, enjoy these photographs, and may every one of us be blessed by water.
