Today, January 19, marks Epiphany in the Russian Orthodox faith (which follows the Julian calendar). This ceremony, in which the devout plunge into icy priest-blessed waters, is believed to cleanse the soul of sins and protect the faithful from evil. Due to Covid-19, it is expected that less of the faithful are expected to attend. @thephotosociety #RussianOrthodox #RussianEpiphany」1月20日 4時48分
