VATICAN CITY — The Latest on the Epiphany observances Christians in many parts of the world are holding: (all times local):11:20 p.m. Unusually cold temperatures in Florida from a monster winter storm didn’t dissuade more than 50 boys from making their annual plunge in a bayou as part of the largest epiphany celebration in the United States. Some 57 boys wearing only t-shirts and shorts dove into the chilly waters Saturday in Tarpon Springs, Florida, to retrieve a cross. A member of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral’s epiphany dive committee, Emmanuel Gombos, says paramedics were nearby. The head of the Catholic Church in Warsaw has spoken out in support of migrants during an Epiphany procession in the Polish capital that was part of nationwide celebrations.
