Spectators moved online for annual Epiphany celebration dive
Jordan Bowen reports
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - Divers will soon take to the water in Tarpon Springs for the annual Epiphany celebration. The historic event usually attracts thousands of people, but because of the pandemic things will look much different this year.
It s a celebration known to draw in as many as 25,000 people, but this year s Epiphany will be unlike any other. It s a good thing to have the waters blessed and to continue on some sort of tradition on a smaller scale, St. Nicholas Cathedral Spokesperson Johanna Kossifidis said.
The tradition which falls on January 6 commemorates the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.
