Description
Dozens of people in Moscow take a dip in freezing water to mark Epiphany, a major holiday in Orthodox Christianity. The ritual marks the baptism of Jesus Christ and is said to cleanse the participant of sin. "It's a jolt to the body," Maria Lobanova tells AFP. "I prepare for it. I take contrast showers."
