Once the services are over, the procession to the bayou will take place. There will be dozens of Greek teenage boys waiting in boats for the Archbishop to toss the cross into the bayou. It is believed that the youngster that retrieves the cross will have good luck for the coming year.

For all of the information and details, please follow this link to a detailed post about the festivities for the Epiphany Festival and the history of this wonderful tradition.

Tarpon Springs Florida's Epiphany Festival brings in visitors from around our nation. It is truly an event worth seeing!

Barbara Jo, with the huge Greek population in your area I can see where this is going to be a huge event. Have a great time. Not too much baklavah.
