Cross Diving Springs 117th Annual Celebration
What do you know about this beautiful holiday:
A permanent tradition celebrated by the Greek Orthodox Churches on every New Year and on Friday on 01/06/2023 specifically, where many people participated in this feast, the so-called "feast of immersion" in order to honor the verticality in Jesus Christ, and as about 65 teenage boys jumped water to recover a wooden cross thrown by the bishop.
The year 117 has come for the celebration to return again, as it is the largest celebration that took place in the Western Hemisphere

The President of Greece in the past, and with him high-ranking church members, came from Tarium Springs to celebrate the feast there.
Diving Fact:
The Epiphany points to a great truth for every living person. The Good Shepherd, Prince of Peace, was born into the world. Jesus points to the kingdom of God within all of us, a call to care for creation and each other. This infant, crucified at last, showed by his life and death his courage and the power of forgiveness.
The Epiphany remembers the visit of the Magi, the wise men who traveled to Bethlehem from afar, to witness, receive and spread the good news throughout the world of the embodiment of the love of our Creator in the person of Jesus Christ.
Sayings of some creative writers and trainers about this holiday:
Cindy Yantis, Creative Writer and Coach: {Creative epiphanies nurture, especially when we follow them, experience them, nurture them, build relationships with them, and introduce them to others so they can thrive and become something beyond themselves}. } Epiphany - Awakening - What matters, right? Follow-up looks different for everyone. Sometimes the verb “do {nothing) doesn’t mean. It’s an epiphany. Living the realization, one day, one hour, one moment, one second at a time” that our lives depend on someone else telling the truth, living the truth, and ultimately caring about creation and each other.
Sadly, our Christian America is divided on the Epiphany of January 6th. "America First" inverts Jesus' key words: "The first will be the last, and the last will be the first."
