Members of the Royal Order of Knights restored the tradition of the Epiphany Cross Dive in 1999 in Belgrade Lake. After twenty years of experience and patronage of events in the capital of the country and throughout Serbia, in cooperation with dioceses and municipalities, the Royal Order of Knights organizes the Epiphany Cross Dive in memory of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, which marks the beginning of His mission of preaching Christianity, the first revelation of the Mystery of the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and the first establishment of the basic symbols of the Christian religion.
