In this video, you can see how they celebrate the feast of Baptism on the beach near the river. This is an ancient custom, people come to the river on January 6, take off their outer clothes and enter the river in bathing suits. Before entering the water, a person should cross himself 3 times, then enter the water up to his knees and dive 3 times with his head.
You can dive into the pit only if you are completely healthy!
What you need to know about swimming in a pit: SAFETY RULES!
One-time swimming in a puddle is unlikely to make you healthy, on the contrary - swimming in icy water without preparation can cause health problems. At the same time, cold water generally has a good effect on the body, provided that you harden yourself correctly and gradually.
A mandatory condition before diving into the water is an energetic warm-up. You should not jump into the water immediately: first wet your face, chest, stomach and back, and only then dive up to your neck. You should not dive with your head, because this can lead to a sharp cooling of the body.
Safe stay in ice water - 3-5 seconds. For people who have been practicing water hardening for years, it is not recommended to stay in the pit longer than 1.5-2 minutes.
The Baptism of the Lord is the last of the holidays of the Christmas cycle. On this day, believers celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism, which Jesus Christ performed at the age of 30 on the Jordan River. Therefore, water on the holiday is considered sacred, it can cleanse the body and soul from diseases or sins.
