крещенские купания

Epiphany bathing is a traditional religious rite celebrated in the Orthodox Church on the day of the Epiphany, January 19. On this day, believers perform baptism in an ice-hole on a body of water, symbolizing purification from sins and renewal of spiritual life. Epiphany bathing has deep historical roots and is connected with pagan rites associated with the worship of the gods of water. Nowadays, Epiphany bathing has become a popular social event, attracting not only believers, but also people who want to take part in the traditional winter rite. In addition, this time is also associated with the rite of "theophany", when, according to legend, water acquires a special healing power.
