The traditions of bathing in icy water have deep roots and go back to the time of the ancient Scythians, who dipped babies in icy water, from birth accustoming them to the harsh climate. It has long been established in Russia after a bath to jump into an ice hole or a snowdrift. Baptism completes the saints and it is believed that this time is intended for the expulsion of evil spirits and purification of people from sins. The rite of consecration, the main event of Baptism, has always been very popular among the Russian people: from small villages to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Consecrated in Baptism water is considered healing. On the feast of Baptism, water is consecrated in rivers, lakes, at wells. On Epiphany Night, a large number of people gather for bathing, which inevitably leads to the formation of large queues.
