A young woman crosses herself as she takes a dip in the icy waters of Yenisei River, in Krasnoyarsk region, Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the holiday according to the Julian calendar. According to the decision of the governor, this year, due to the pandemic, officially Epiphany bathing is not carried out either by the dioceses of the Orthodox Church or by local authorities, but some believers are going to take a dip in the ice hole in accordance with the old tradition.
