Epiphany is a Christian holiday that celebrates the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan River. During the Baptism, the Gospels say, the Holy Spirit manifested Himself in the form of a dove. «Похорон кошового»: One of the major traditions on this day is bathing in rivers and lakes. On the 19th of January a hole in the form of a cross is cut in the frozen water, and people make a procession to it. Many parishioners, despite cold weather, take a dip in картина на межі століть the freezing water – they believe that it can cure all diseases and strengthen the spirit and help them remain healthy throughout the year!
