Youngster Snags Cross at 107th Epiphany Dive

A 16-year-old Tarpon Springs High School student retrieved the cross with ease on Sunday afternoon.

According to Epiphany tradition, Vassili Harding will receive a blessed year for retrieving the 2013 Epiphany cross at Spring Bayou on Sunday. 

Harding, 16, is a Tarpon Springs High School student and a local resident.

Ages ranged from 16-18 for the group of 48 Greek Orthodox males that dove for the cross.

Congradulations Vassille....Year ago the Greek Orthodox Church in Steelton, Pa. had this same tradition. The church closed this past year. I was so happy to read this article...
