Hoping to rejuvenate body and soul, a devout Russian briefly submerges herself into the icy water in Yekaterinburg.
On the eve of Russian Orthodox Epiphany, January 19th (as the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian Calendar) thousands of Russians prepare to do what they do on Epiphany every year. They gather on frozen rivers and lakes to take a dip in the icy priest-blessed waters. This is believed to cleanse the soul of sins and protect the faithful from evil. According to Orthodox Christian tradition, this January feast day celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan.
