Epiphany 2011 Spring Bayou
Louis Pappas retrieved this years Epiphany cross at Spring Bayou. He is the grandson of the famous restaurateur who turned 81 today. 105 doves were released to commemorate 105 years of the Epiphany celebration in Tarpon. Thousands attended the annual celebration for the Greek Orthodox Church, the country's largest Epiphany Day celebration takes place in Tarpon Springs every January 6.
The day's highlight comes when an Orthodox bishop tosses a cross into Spring Bayou. The Greek Orthodox boys, ages 16 -18, dive for it and the finder of the cross is believed to receive extra blessings for the year. Very cool!
