On the eve of the Baptism of the Lord - in the evening of January 18 - the Orthodox all over the world attend solemn services in the temples, they also take consecrated water. The custom of sanctifying the water to the Epiphany was committed in order to prepare it for those who will be baptized in it.

"Today, the sacred water takes and use her at home to strengthen the physically, believing that it can have any healing, strengthening properties," said Gazeta.Ru, the priest of the Moscow Patriarchate and the Rector of the Holy Filaret Orthodox-Christian Institute of Georgy Kochetkov .

As for the Epiphany Mass Swimming, they appeared from the joint of two traditions: to make the sacrament of baptism on the feast of the Epiphany (like on Christmas, and at Easter, before it was one of the most popular days for the rite) and walk to the places where the described in Gospel Events. "Since the baptism is rarely committed on this day, then people kindly imitate an ancient custom, and if they are not baptized, then at least diphwashes," added Georgy Kochetkov.

In the pre-revolutionary time, the Baptism of the Lord was celebrated on the old style - that is, on January 6th. In the central provinceX. Russian Empire The eve of this religious holiday was called "candles", since after serving on this day, the townskens were put at the vessel in which the water was consecrated, the candles were consemiced or ribbons. Although after Christmas and until the end of the carnival, it was possible to eat, whatever, it was January 5, Orthodox Christians held a strict post - even children were not allowed to eat to the first star.

In the evening, in the temples there was a real crush, as people believed - the earlier they paint the consecrated water, the "holy" it will be. But in some provinces it was forbidden to take water from the well to the morning on January 6th.

After the decreement, each family member did a sip of water. The remnants were sprayed through the territory of the house, thereby protecting the dwelling from the trouble and the evil eyes. Mass baths were not practiced: people preferred to simply approach the water and observe when the water is saved in the corner. It was a sign of the fact that the Lord plunged into the water, then, after that, the water even became saint in the twelve sword.

In the modern church, the Epiphany swimming in the modern church, calling for a liturgy, and not to Jordan if "the dive into the hole is accompanied by the separation of alcoholic beverages, matery."

"From the point of view of the church, the person who plunged the person from the not dipped in nature is no different. The church rejoices when people feel that something changes in their lives when they want to wash away from sins. But if for a person, immersion in water is just a wellness procedure, hardening or entertainment, it has nothing to do with faith, nor for the holiday of baptism, "said the priest George Kochetkov.

And yet many can not imagine baptism without swimming. For them in the city equipped 59 sites both on natural water bodies and in artificial affiliation. At every point there is a safe descent to water with handrails, warm cabins for dressing, heating and places where you can drink hot tea.

Plunge icewater It will be possible from 18.00 on January 18 and until noon on January 19th. Please note that, although the baptism in Moscow is given relatively warm (-9 ... -7 ° C), but due to the wind 12-17 m / s and the weathering weather will be felt significantly more severe - 10 degrees below the predicted value.

Residents of the Cao, according to tradition, offer or go to another district, or take advantage of the singular platform for swimming in the center. Previously, the font was located on the Revolution Square, but now she was already decided to establish it for the second time from the temple of the Cross of the Lord at a pure enemy (Kievskaya metro station).

Extremes Rescuers are asked not to dive into the holes forward. After a three-time immersion in Epiphany water, they recommend citizens not to linger and release the place for the next believers.
