Photo of the Day: Epiphany Dive
A statue of a young man holding a cross sits in the plaza of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church to pay tribute to an annual ceremony that dates back over 100 years. Each year on January 6 to celebrate the Epiphany, the Metropolitan of Atlanta tosses a wooden cross into Spring Bayou and boys aged 16 for 18 dive into the waters in an attempt to retrieve the cross which comes with a years worth of good blessings. The festivities date back to 1903 and closely follow authentic Greek traditions from Greece. (Photo: February 4, 2017)
