Photo by @Gerd Ludwig. Hoping to rejuvenate body and soul, a Moscovite briefly submerges himself into the icy water at Moscow's Serebryanny Bor (Silver Forest). On the eve of Russian Orthodox Epiphany, January 19th (as the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian Calendar) thousands of Russians gathered on frozen rivers and lakes to 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. Follow me @Gerd Ludwig to see a gallery of additional photographs from across Russia on Epiphany.
