Russians are celebrating the Orthodox Epiphany, the holiday that honors the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan, by immersion into frigid rivers, ponds and lakes across the country.

Here in my Parish Gmunden-Vöcklabruck we celebrated Epiphany at the austrian lake Traunsee on 21th January yesterday on Sunday. I guess because that was the time when the Serbian community could get that place for themselfes, maybe it was not possible on Friday 19th, because it was a working day.
I was there and took videos.
