St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (Tarpon Springs, Florida)
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, also known as St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, is a historic church building and center for Greek-American life in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The church hosts an annual epiphany celebration on January 6 that includes youths diving for a cross.〔(20,000 expected at Epiphany in Tarpon Springs on Sunday ) Michelle Bearden January 3, 2013 Tampa Tribune〕 A statue of an epiphany diver is located in front of the church.〔(Epiphany, Tarpon Springs ) Michael Bilirakis, Representative (9th District)〕 The church has been featured on postcards.〔()〕〔()〕 The church is located at 36 North Pinellas Avenue.〔
The first St. Nicholas Church in Tarpon was built in 1907. The existent building was completed in 1943. The domed church is an example of Neo-Byzantine architecture and was modelled after Saint Sophia Cathedral (Hagia Sophia) in Constantinople (now Istanbul).
The church includes marble from Greece. A weeping Icon of Saint Nicholas is inside near the entrance. It has been seen to shed actual tears by some observers.〔(Spiritual Florida ); A Guide to retreat centers page 56〕 Inside there are 23 stained glass windows and the three large chandeliers from Czechoslovakia. The sixty ton altar of Greek marble was a gift from Greece and was originally part of the Greek exhibit at the first New York World's Fair.〔()〕 It was obtained with help from George Frantzis.〔(History of Epiphany Celebration )〕
