Orthodox Christians Celebrate Epiphany, Part 2

A Russian Orthodox believer bathes in the icy water on Epiphany in the Neva River in St.Petersburg, Russia, Tuesday, January 19, 2016. The temperature in St.Petersburg is minus 5 Celsius (23 Fahrenheit). Thousands of Russian Orthodox Church followers plunged into icy rivers and ponds across the country to mark Epiphany, cleansing themselves with water deemed holy for the day. Water that is blessed by a cleric on Epiphany is considered holy and pure until next year's celebration, and is believed to have special powers of protection and healing.
