Today the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. On this day, water is consecrated and public festivities, or to be more precise, bathing, are organised. But if everyone in warm countries can bathe, here the bravest can. Today people go for a swim, despite the Siberian frosts. Did you know about this Russian tradition?

oh my ... it is freezing... hahaha i dont know if i can do that happy Feast of the Baptism of the Lord :)
Yes, I only bathe at Baptism in India)))
Happy and optimistic Eid, this tradition is wonderful if the water was warm, did you make a wish last night?
Yes, I only bathe at Baptism in India)) I haven't made wishes for a long time because they come true at the most inopportune times))
Why do you say this my friend, we can only pray and hope, right I want to ask you, do you have children?
Yeah, sorry, I just saw that comment now. I don't have much time to watch them, I usually watch them in the evening or morning... Yes, I have a daughter.
May God protect her. There is no doubt that she is beautiful. I want to send her a kiss. I have no children, although I am married for 11 years. I lost my fetus twice due to psychological trauma. After that, there was no pregnancy. I cried a lot. Now I am fine. I no longer care about this life. It does not give us everything. I always wrote longing thoughts. Sometimes I post it here. Some people think that it is directed to a man or a lover, but it is for my child, whom I have not seen and I am still waiting for him.
I am so sad about what you have told me... I don't know why God gives each person some kind of trial... I really want you to be happy. I wish all the people in the world were happy... God has his own plans for each of us, maybe it's because this world is coming to an end and only the strong of spirit can see it... The souls of dead children are angels waiting for us on the other side of life... There are probably no words to comfort a mother who loses her child...
Please, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad, I just wanted to tell you that not all wishes can be fulfilled, there are things in the hands of God alone, and I know that God chose the best for me, and I believe in everything that he gives or deprives me. Hope is still in my heart, and I feel that God will not disappoint my intuition. He does not make mistakes and I wait, but not with sadness, but with optimism, hope and satisfaction
Yes, perhaps because of the difficulty of translation I can't accurately understand or communicate my thoughts precisely... But my wishes come true long after the fact, sometimes when I don't even want them to. Yes, I understand that we are all in the palm of God's hand and He gives everyone something different. But if He gives us sorrow, He will give us joy afterwards. God bless you!
That's right my friend, I'm satisfied. Convinced, may God protect your beautiful daughter and wife, my kisses to them
Thank you, dear Lavinnada, for your kind words! May the goodness of your words touch our hearts and return triple to your kind heart!
