How to bathe in Epiphany
Epiphany bathing is a tradition that a huge number of believers adhere to from year to year.
But in order for bathing on a holiday to really benefit, it should be done, adhering to important rules.
Make sure your body is ready for swimming in such cold conditions. To do this, you should visit a doctor and consult with him, as well as pass all the necessary tests and tests.
- Choose a good, proven place for swimming. The hole should not be too deep and fenced in the proper places so that someone does not accidentally fall into it.
- Warm up well before the bathing procedure itself: run in place, squat, etc. But you should know the measure, you do not need to be very zealous. But in no case do not use alcohol to warm the body! You will get a false heat effect, but immediately after entering the water you will start to freeze even faster.
- According to the tradition of Orthodoxy, a true believer should plunge into the hole with his head three times. However, not everyone takes such a risk, and not without reason, because this is a rather dangerous action for the health of the head. In addition, swimming
Baptism is considered a tradition, therefore, not completely dipping into an ice hole will not be considered a sin.
- Do not linger in the hole longer than the allotted time if you feel a surge of pleasure. Such sensations are just a reaction of your body to the cold temperature of the water. Even an extra minute in such cold water may be sufficient to cause harm to human health.
- Warm up immediately after swimming. Dry yourself from head to toe with a towel and put on dry clothes as soon as possible. Then be sure to drink some kind of warming drink, for example, tea or coffee from a thermos.
Attention! Doctors categorically forbid children to swim in the cold! Young children, especially infants, have an imperfect thermoregulation system. Frostbite can happen very quickly and parents simply do not have time to notice it. The consequences of such bathing can be very serious: the child may get pneumonia, meningitis, or another disease of the central nervous system.
What you need for swimming in the hole
- towel and bathrobe, a set of dry clothes;
- swimming trunks or swimsuit (underwear, shirt);
- slippers so as not to hurt your feet, just so that they do not slip on the ice,
- rubber cap.

A Brief History of the Feast of the Epiphany
The rite of baptism of Christ at his request was performed by John the Baptist. During the baptism in the Jordan River, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove. At the same time, a Voice from Heaven proclaimed, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
According to Christian teachings, it was on this day that God appeared in three persons: God the Father - in the voice, the Son of God - in the flesh, the Holy Spirit - in the form of a dove. Therefore, the feast of Baptism is often called the Epiphany. The feast of the Baptism of the Lord is very important. It is believed that it was baptism that revealed the Savior to the world, who took upon himself all the sins of mankind. John Chrysostom wrote about this.
And it was from the moment of baptism that Jesus began to preach the word of God and enlighten people.
Until now, the main traditions of the Epiphany holiday are associated with water. And the clergy on the feast of Epiphany, according to tradition, dresses in white robes.
The celebration of the Epiphany (January 19) begins the day before - January 18. This day is called Epiphany Christmas Eve, as well as Hungry Kutia. By analogy with Christmas Eve, on the day before the feast of the Epiphany, a strict fast must be observed.
Also on the eve of the feast of the Epiphany, the Orthodox prepared Lenten kutya. The festive dinner on Epiphany Christmas Eve was called "hungry kutya". Kutya, pancakes, oatmeal jelly were an obligatory dish of this meal.
Kutya, kolivo, eve - a ritual memorial dish of the Slavs, porridge cooked from whole grains of wheat (barley, rice - Saracen millet or other cereals), poured with honey, honey satiety or sugar, with the addition of poppy seeds, raisins, nuts, milk or jam.
important event Baptism of the Lord and Theophany is the blessing of water. On a river or on a lake, a cruciform polynya, called the Jordan, is cut in advance in the ice. With the onset of midnight, the priests bless the water in the polynya, and the faithful take a bath in holy water.
People are not afraid of the cold, because bathing at Epiphany is a symbolic cleansing from sins, a spiritual rebirth. The faithful are looking forward to the Feast of the Epiphany, and when the Baptism of the Lord comes, the Orthodox must visit the church to remember the miraculous event that changed the world.

Here's what you need to know if you decide to swim:
One of the most interesting church Holidays - Baptism. This is the day when John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. On the day of the celebration, especially brave believers bathe in the hole, which is called the Jordan.
Even if in Moscow there will be no severe frosts(and there are always frosts at Epiphany), bathing will still be Epiphany. According to legend, all water at Epiphany becomes holy, no matter what temperature it is.
Bathing in Epiphany is not a mandatory ritual. Epiphany water does not wash away sins at all, as some Moscow sinners (which we all are) think.
Of course, if you are not a walrus, then it is better to start little by little - pour cold water in the shower, starting with the legs - no one has yet canceled the spasm of the vessels of the brain and heart. If you decide that you are ready, it is best to plunge gradually, going into the icy water up to your chest and holding your breath.
Throwing yourself into the water with a run and diving is not worth it even for the most hardened. While bathing, they dip from 10 seconds to a minute.
And of course, one should not swim naked - a church holiday after all. Men can swim in swimming trunks, women should swim in a shirt.
In order to plunge into the hole, you need to take with you:
- Large body towel
- Small towel for feet
- Bathrobe
It is best to dress in natural clothes - cotton, wool, you need to have loose shoes, preferably mittens and not gloves, a fur or woolen hat, sweater.
Before bathing, you should undress from the bottom up - from the shoes. After bathing, you need to dress from top to bottom, closing the chest first. Try not to walk after swimming in the hole on foot - the risk of chronic diseases is high.
An important rule: refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking before and after bathing. There is absolutely no need to increase the load on the heart. Do not dive on an empty or too full stomach.
- Don't swim alone
- Take with you a change of comfortable shoes (felt boots or felt boots), dry comfortable clothes that are easy to unfasten and fasten
- Take a towel with a blanket and a thermos of hot tea
- Before bathing, warm up, then undress
- After undressing - immediately in the hole - you can’t freeze in the cold
- If you are bathing for the first time, it is better not to dip three times, but go into the water up to your chest and wash yourself. ice water
- After bathing, rub your body with a towel until warm and dress quickly
- If you feel unwell, see a doctor immediately!
You can’t swim in the hole if you have:
- Weak heart
- Diseases of the genitourinary system
- Disease of the stomach or nasopharynx
- pressure problems
- Diabetes
- Pregnancy
- It is better not to drag small children with you into the hole and do not swim if your age does not allow

Before diving, you need to eat, you can not drink
The Feast of Epiphany is approaching with traditional immersions in fonts or ice-holes. In order for the bathing to take place in the safest possible environment, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin instructed to equip special places for Epiphany bathing with safe approaches and descents to the water. “There will be locker rooms, lighting, parking lots, a place to warm up and drink tea. Look at the list of fonts, ”Sobyanin writes on his official page in social network. In addition, doctors and rescuers will be on duty near the bathing places (there are 59 in total) to provide timely assistance to those who overestimated their strength before entering the water. Experts remind that it is better to refuse to observe the tradition for people with chronic diseases (especially of the cardiovascular system), with diabetes, pregnant women and young children. It is also not recommended to take risks for those who suffer from chronic colds, bronchitis, have recently suffered pneumonia.
The feast of the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated from January 18 to 19 - as the Gospel says, on these days the thirty-year-old Jesus entered the waters of the Jordan River, and the world learned about his divine origin. Since then, every Christian can follow his example - it is believed that baptismal water washes away any sins. Diving into an ice hole or font on the night of January 19 has become a tradition. A suitable ice hole can be found in every metropolitan area - bathers will be waiting for the doctors on duty and hot drinks.
Muscovites were promised that snow and blizzards should be expected on the night of Epiphany, and the temperature would drop to 7–9 degrees below zero, although because of the wind it would seem to someone that everything is minus 18 outside. This is by no means a weather record for Moscow, but that’s all Epiphany bathing can be a serious test.
According to authorities, it is thanks to high level organization of security during Epiphany bathing over the past few years in Moscow there have been no tragic cases. Those who needed it were given help immediately, near the font or Jordan. But in those cities where the level of organization is not so high, every year there are reports of several drowned during Epiphany bathing - for example, in 2017, a bright holiday in the Kirov region and Stavropol region was overshadowed by victims. The cause of the tragedy was bathing in inappropriate places and non-compliance with safety regulations.
Places for Epiphany bathing are equipped in each metropolitan area. So, for example, residents of the Central Administrative District will be offered to plunge into the font in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on Chisty Vrazhka, and in the North-Eastern District - into the Palace Pond; for bathing residents of Zelenograd equip lakes Chernoe and Shkolnoe. Muscovites living in the west or northwest are more fortunate: they will have several fonts equipped right in the Moscow River at their service. Several bathing places are being equipped in the South-Western, Southern, Eastern and other districts, and the most enviable are the prospects for the inhabitants of the TiNAO: more than a dozen places for Epiphany bathing will appear on the territory of New Moscow.
According to Petr Biryukov, the head of the capital's housing and communal services complex, swimming areas are provided taking into account the state of ice and weather conditions and will be equipped near the shores of water bodies, excluding mass access to dangerous ice. Swimming areas will also be equipped with special flooring. If the approach to the ice hole seems too dangerous, you can plunge into the font - alternative places for swimming will also appear throughout Moscow.
Where ice-holes and fonts are equipped near temples, ceremonial services will also take place simultaneously with the dives. According to the Moscow Department of Regional Security and Anti-Corruption, these places will be provided with elevated level security control.
“Order during Epiphany bathing on the night of January 18-19 at the bathing places, as well as at the temples (more than 400), where festive services will be held, will be provided by more than 8 thousand employees law enforcement- police officers, traffic police inspectors, military personnel national guard and members of the people's squad and private security organizations," representatives of the department report.
The capital expects that about 100,000 people will take part in Epiphany bathing this year. Everyone who wants to take a dip is recommended to take a cap, shoes that will not slip on the ice, and a large terry towel for rubbing the body after bathing. Dive time, on the advice of doctors, should not exceed one minute.

Appear Christ God and enlighten the world, glory to Thee.
IMPORTANT! It is not worth warming yourself up with alcohol before diving, it is dangerous. It is better to warm up on the sports ground, a few squats will help disperse the blood, and immersion in water will be more comfortable. BY THE WAY Bathing in ice water- to some extent a feat, the body must be strong and hardened. Absolutely, you should not climb into the font if you have problems with the kidneys, gynecology, thyroid gland or heart. Doctors also do not recommend winter swimming for diabetics, hypertensive patients and pregnant women. You should not swim for those who have recently had a cold. Remember that you must definitely take with you: warm clothes that you should put on after swimming; a rug on which it is convenient to stand barefoot; hot tea to help warm up after bathing.
