UPDATE: Colten Sakadales, 16, recovered the cross at the 115th Epiphany celebration. He became the second member of his family to do so. His brother recovered the cross last year.

According to religious tradition, recovering the cross bestows upon the diver a year of blessings.

For 115 years, crowds as large as 20,000 have turned out at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral and at Spring Bayou in Tarpon Springs during the first week of January for the traditional throwing of the cross during Epiphany celebrations.

This year's celebration will be scaled back of the coronavirus pandemic, as only people with tickets willl be allowed to attend.
