APhoto of the Day — 1/6/08

Bulgarians jump into icy water to catch the holy cross at a lake in the Bulgarian capital Sofia this morning. The Eastern Orthodox priests throw a cross in the river and the men take it out. It is believed that those who dive in the river will be healthy throughout the year. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Valentina Petrova)

Top Cutlines:

1. To the shouts of “You go, Slavs” the relunctant divers are lowered into the river via ropes, in a ritual known as “Sophia Lowerin”/JohnA.

2. This is from the book “Tabbouli for Dummies.” First, you soak the bulgur in cold water/Kevin Taylor.

3. And MamaJD promised them all she’d vote for Walt Minnick/Raymond Pert.
