As it has done for many years, Saint Nicholas once again hosted its annual Epiphany service at Battery Park in New York where two brave divers took to the 48 degree waters of New York City to retrieve the cross as is the Orthodox Christian custom. Father John Romas officiated the event attended by hundreds of parishioners and friends of Saint Nicholas. Major news organizations also covered this annual event which has long been a tradition at Saint Nicholas. This year, Adam Hotzoglou, competing with his father, Nick Hatzoglou, collected the cross out of the frigid waters of Battery Park in New York.
