In Russia, the Epiphany or Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated on January 18/19. This
holiday was set by the Julian calendar by the Russian Orthodox Church. The Epiphany is also
known as Theophany in Russia and is one of the great feast days. It marks the baptism of
Christ by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The old Russian tradition is to cut a hole in the
ice of the lakes and rivers in Russia into the shape of a cross. The priests then bless the
waters and make it holy water before the bathers jump in. The Russian people believe that this
bathing can impart them with strength, wealth and joy. Each bather must dip into the water
three times. People brave these frigid, icy waters to wash away their sins each year at this
time. There are many sites where this bathing takes place in the waters of Russia. The lakes
and reservoirs are specifically designated for the holy bathing sites. Doctors and medical
rescuers are on hand near these sites where the bathing is to take place in the event of a
medical emergency from the freezing waters. The tradition is to cut a hole in the ice, in most
instances in the shape of a cross, and then to bathe in these sub-zero waters. The blessing of
the water is performed on the eve of the feast day and on the Epiphany Day of January 19.
Holy water is then given to the true believers who then subsequently store it for future use to
cure illnesses or to bless themselves. The temperature of the icy waters can be zero to minus
60 degrees Celsius. This land of the Russian Santas certainly has wonderful and rich
traditions with religious feast days and other observances. Now that the Russian Orthodox
Chruch is again filled with believers and allowed to practice in the open, many of the former
traditions and feast days are celebrated and commemorated by the faithful of the Church.
