is an image of a colorful mural depicting the baptism of Jesus Christ. In the center, Jesus stands in a river with a halo around his head, and John the Baptist is shown pouring water over Jesus' head with one hand while holding a cross staff in the other. Above Jesus, a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, descends with rays of light. Surrounding them are four angels, each holding a garment, and on the left side, an elder man with an axe stands by a tree. The river is animated with fish, and a man is depicted riding a fish at the bottom left. The artwork is done in a traditional Orthodox iconographic style with vibrant colors and gold accents, and the scene is set within a semi-circular arch."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/epiphany-in-greece-celebrating-a-unique-greek-holiday-tradition\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Epiphany in Greece: Celebrating a Unique Greek Holiday Tradition"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/","name":"Elissos","description":"Traveling Philosophy","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"ru-RU"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/#\/schema\/person\/c8b7490e176342066719fc54604f4697","name":"Marilina Paters","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"ru-RU","@id":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2098fd3264025c221e2bc558c5e2e420f86b106e5cc366c1408aa2738e13b956?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2098fd3264025c221e2bc558c5e2e420f86b106e5cc366c1408aa2738e13b956?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Marilina Paters"},"sameAs":["http:\/\/elissos.com"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
