Residents of Russia once again celebrated the most ancient Christian holiday Epiphany, having traditionally plunged into an ice hole, and after that posted photos on their social networks.
The Russians greeted the holiday, which takes place on the night of January 18-19, and many of them plunged into the ice hole or other bodies of water. According to Gamebomb.ru, it is noted that Epiphany water has healing properties and miraculous power. Therefore, everyone who wants to be cured of any disease or simply wash away all sins is immersed in it. However, for some, diving into an ice hole is just proof of their willpower, but for others it’s just a way to make catchy pictures and videos.

As usual, after Baptism, a huge number of new photos appear on social networks, including photos of Russian beauties. Girls massively publish their photos, in which they showcase their beautiful outfits, and also show willpower, which helps them plunge into cold water. At the same time, it is worth noting that in some regions of Russia the temperature for this Baptism was not as severe as in previous years.
As Gamebomb.ru notes, Baptism is one of the oldest and most important Christian holidays. It is installed in honor of the Baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. It is believed that dipping during Baptism should not be for the sake of “carrying out a feat”. It should be remembered the religious meaning of dipping into the hole.
