Proving his devout faith, a member of the Russian Orthodox Church rises from the icy river on the eve of Russian Epiphany several years ago.

Today, January 18, marks the day before Epiphany in the Russian Orthodox faith (which follows the Julian calendar). This ceremony, in which citizens plunge into the icy priest-blessed waters, is believed to cleanse the soul of sin from the past year. In Christian Orthodox tradition, the feast day of Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan.
