Tarpon Springs Greek Epiphany Tradition

Friday, January 06, 2012

For more than a century the city of Tarpon Springs, FL has held an annual celebration set out by the Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Dozens of teenage boys seek out God’s blessing by diving into the Springs Bayou chasing after a wooden crossed tossed in by a priest. The lucky one who captures the cross gains instant celebrity status and is carried through the streets of Tarpon Springs on the shoulders of his peers.

"The Tarpon Springs ‘Cross Dive’ is the centerpiece of what locals call the largest Epiphany event in the Western Hemisphere, celebrating the day Orthodox Christians believe Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan" (www.msnbc.msn.com).

This community tradition is not only a religious ceremony but a major tourist attraction. People from all over come to experience the Greek culture. Tarpon Springs has a large assortment of antique shops, galleries, restaurants and clubs as well. To learn more about beautiful Tarpon Springs, FL visit www.tarponspringschamber.com.

Here’s what one of our Harbor Ridge homeowners has to say:
"Spending our summer months in Canada, it is comforting to know our utility bills for our home in Florida are at an all-time low. The Energy Star features built into our home have afforded us, in the warmest months of summer, an electric bill as low as $19.00 a month. We greatly appreciate the efficiency and quality of a Pioneer Home and are delighted to own one."
