A man baths in an ice hole on the Ob river after it was blessed by an Orthodox priest on Epiphany in Novosibirsk, about 2,800 kilometers (1,750 miles) east of Moscow, early Sunday, January 19, 2020. Across Russia, the devout and the daring are observing the Orthodox Christian feast day of Epiphany by immersing themselves in frigid water through holes cut through the ice of lakes and rivers. Epiphany celebrates the revelation of Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God through his baptism in the River Jordan. Temperature in Novosibirsk dropped to —14 C (6,8 F) .
