How about that? My boss's nephew found the cross.

[[
Believed to be the biggest in the nation, the Tarpon Springs Diving
for the Cross ritual is held at Spring Bayou. Between 45 – 50
Greek-American males, ages 16 – 18, will endure the frigid waters as
they vie to be the first one to capture the coveted cross. The youth
who retrieves it receives a special blessing by His All Holiness
Bartholomew, a gold cross necklace and prestigious trophy.

'Blessed boy', indeed... Just last week he was trying to do pull ups
on the office door and his mom was reprimmanding him for it.
