The 115th annual Epiphany celebration will happen in Tarpon Spring on Jan. 6, 2021. But, some major changes are coming to the event because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Namely, the celebration will be scaled down in size. St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral says parishioners will be able to attend the blessing by securing a pass that will be provided ahead of time. It is unclear at this time how many passes will be distributed.
