Swimmers pull a Greek Orthodox faithful who lost consciousness out of the water as he swam with others to retrieve a wooden crucifix during the Epiphany ceremony in Istanbul, Monday, January 6, 2020. Media were told the man is alive and recovering at a hospital. More than a dozen Orthodox men raced to retrieve the cross which was thrown into the waters by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians.
