Description
Hundreds of Russian Orthodox believers, many of them the members of the Russian military, plunge into the icy water to celebrate the Epiphany holiday at the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces in Kubinka. The holiday commemorates Christ's baptism in the River Jordan, and the dip is believed to prevent illnesses and absolve one from their sins. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
