#Rusos se sumergen en #aguasheladas celebrando la Epifanía-media-1

A man with his son plunges into ice-cold water of the Ob River after it was blessed by an Orthodox priest on Epiphany on Tuesday Jan. 19, 2016 in Novosibirsk, about 2800 km (1,750 miles) east of Moscow, Russia. Novosibirsk temperatures on Tuesday dropped to -30 C (-22 Fahrenheit). Thousands of Russian Orthodox Church followers plunged into icy rivers and ponds across the country to mark Epiphany, cleansing themselves with water deemed holy for the day. Water that is blessed by a cleric on Epiphany is considered holy and pure until next year’s celebration, and is believed to have special powers of protection and healing. (AP Photo/Ilnar Salakhiev)
