Weeping Icons of the Tampa Bay Area

Weeping icons — Religious experience, ghost story or condensation? Those were the possibilities debated in the early 1970s and middle 1990s when the namesake icon at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tarpon Springs began weeping. When the tiny drops formed around the eyes of the church's patron saint, believers noted that such weeping had predicted earthquakes and war in ancient Greece. While none of that happened in Tarpon Springs, thousands made pilgrimages to the shrine, including those who believe the building is haunted. While the glass-enclosed icon hasn't been observed weeping since 1996, you can still see the dried tear cracks on its face. 36 Pinellas Ave. (Alt. U.S. 19), Tarpon Springs; 727-937-3540.
