From Siberia’s brutal minus 33 degrees Celsius cold to the frozen baptismal fonts of Moscow, Orthodox believers across Russia marked Epiphany by plunging into icy waters. In Yakutia, locals laughed off the extreme cold, calling the water “warm” as they emerged smiling from ice holes. In the capital, Muscovites upheld the centuries old tradition, describing the ritual as a test of faith, endurance, and inner renewal. Participants said the freezing dip brings spiritual cleansing, emotional uplift, and resilience, turning one of Russia’s coldest nights into a powerful display of belief and human grit. #russia #siberia #epiphany #apt
