On the eve of Russian Orthodox Epiphany, January 19 (as the Russian Orthodox Church follows the historic Julian Calendar) hundreds of thousands of Russians prepare for what they do on Epiphany every year, namely to gather - like here in Yekaterinburg - and 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. In many places, the first faithful arrive before sunrise and the ceremony continues throughout the day and into the night.
