Baptismal greetings and holy water

The New Year has passed, the Nativity of Christ, now we are celebrating Epiphany! mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ congratulates everyone on this bright holiday and wants to tell you a little about how to celebrate it.

Traditionally, on the day of Epiphany or the night before, it is customary to swim in the ice-hole at night. It is believed that this ritual washes away all sins, cleanses the body, strengthens health, and in general it is almost not necessary for all Orthodox Christians!

In fact, swimming in an ice hole is not necessary, and on the contrary, the official position of the church does not approve of mass swimming in an ice hole.

Perhaps bathing will be beneficial for someone, because if you believe, anything is possible. But in general, swimming in an ice hole is a folk tradition that does not wash away sins without real repentance. In addition, swimming in an ice-hole is a pretext for ridicule on the part of atheists, who see ritualism and obscurantism in mass bathing of adults and children. Therefore, mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ does not recommend plunging into an ice hole with ice water.

It is much better to stock up on the day of Epiphany with holy Epiphany water for a whole year. Epiphany water can be stored unchanged all year round and is a clear proof of the action of Divine grace in our world.

Buy a couple of five-liter barrels of water and bless them in the church. Drink holy baptismal water in the morning as soon as you wake up.
