On Sunday 21 January the Association of Ukrainians in Victoria together with the Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox churches held a water blessing at Queens Park in Essendon.
The 19th of January is a holy day in the Ukrainian church calendar. Iordan, also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, is observed annually to celebrate the baptism of Christ in the Jordan River
There was a great turn out with many people staying on for a picnic on the grass.
