Nikitas Loulias Biography

Nikitas Loulias is one of the most popular and richest Priest who was born on June 22, 1955 in Tampa, Florida, United States.

Every January sixth, the Orthodox Christian communities of the greater Tampa Bay area gather at St. Nicholas Cathedral in Tarpon Springs to observe the feast of Christ’s baptism in the Jordan River and celebrate the blessing of the waters. This local tradition has been a staple of the Greek-American community since 1903 and is said to be the largest such celebration in the western hemisphere. Part of the celebration involves the retrieval of a wooden cross from spring bayou by local Orthodox Christian young men, aged 16-18. A specially crafted white cross is tossed by a senior cleric, usually the Archbishop of America, into Spring Bayou as part of the service of the Great Blessing of the Waters. The retrieval has developed into a contest and local lore states the young man who retrieves the cross from the bayou will enjoy a year of special blessings. Archbishop Nikita retrieved the cross in 1974, under unique circumstances. On January 6, 1974, when the traditional white wooden cross was thrown into Spring Bayou by Archbishop Iakovos, it was not quickly retrieved. In turn, the Archbishop did something spontaneous-he took the gold blessing cross he was carrying and tossed it into the water toward the divers. The gold cross was retrieved by Nikitas Lulias. Some saw this occasion as a sign of the young mans future ministry in the Greek Orthodox Church. The white cross was later found by a distant cousin of his, Manuel Karvounis.

After attaining his undergraduate degree, he enrolled in the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, earning the degree of Master of Divinity in 1980. His tenure as a graduate student was marked with prestige and distinction: He was listed in the Who’s Who of American Colleges and University Students in 1975 and 1979; he was a Rotary International Graduate Scholar from 1980-1981; and a graduate fellow of the Ministry of the Exterior, Greece, from 1981-1982. Following this, he pursued additional graduate study at the University of Thessaloniki, Greece through November 1982. He also studied Russian language in St. Petersburg, Russia at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy from late 1992 to mid 1993.
