In the Moscow region, the authorities will prepare 237 fonts for the feast of the Epiphany, of which 169 are indoors, and 68 are on the water. Now employees of the State Technical Supervision Service of the Moscow Region are checking the condition and maintenance of places intended for swimming on the feast of the Epiphany.

The press service of the department reported that the largest number of places for immersion in water and performing Orthodox rites are located in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky and Dmitrovsky municipal districts - 16 fonts each. In the Solnechnogorsk district there are 15 places for winter dipping, 12 each are located in the Shchelkovsky district and the urban districts of Istra and Yegoryevsk. In our article we will present a complete list of fonts and Jordans in which you can swim this year.

Where to swim at Epiphany in the Moscow region 2018: Comfort, convenience and safety

It is worth noting that when checking places for swimming pools, almost 100 violations were identified, but now all of them have been eliminated. According to the State Administrative Supervision Service, the shortcomings mainly related to improper maintenance of the territory and poor quality winter cleaning of existing pedestrian paths and sidewalks. Inspections of the areas and approaches to the swimming pools will continue until January 19.

Things to remember:

1. You need to get into the water quickly.

The sooner you immerse your body in the icy water of the Epiphany ice hole, the less chance you have of getting hypothermia.

2. Stay in the water for no longer than 20 seconds.

This is especially true for those who are diving for the first time. It is advisable to stay in the ice hole for at least 10 seconds. This is necessary so that the blood has time to flow to the heart, move away and rush back.

3. Do not dry yourself after going out.

Active rubbing after ice water, and even in the cold, can damage the fragile small capillaries of the skin.

4. You need to get dressed as quickly as possible.

To do this, you should make sure in advance that the clothes you will wear after swimming have a minimum number of fasteners and buttons.

5. After swimming, it is advisable to go for a run.

To quickly warm up your body after you leave the ice hole and get dressed, you can do some physical exercise, such as jogging.

5 common mistakes when swimming in an ice hole:

1. Do not dive into the ice hole headlong.

If you are already diving into an ice hole, then you need to plunge completely, headlong. Otherwise, a sharp temperature difference between the body and head can provoke vasospasm.

2. Eat dietary foods the day before.

In ice water, your body will really need energy. Lard with black bread, nuts, dried apricots and raisins can provide a good influx of energy for the body on the eve of bathing.

3. Pat yourself on the body after leaving the ice hole.

Here the reason is the same as in the case of wiping with a towel. Such pats in the cold can damage small vessels of the skin.

4. Try to warm up on exercise machines.

Many people try to warm up their body as much as possible before swimming in an ice hole with the help of physical exercises or even exercise equipment. This should under no circumstances be done. Your muscles may suffer microtrauma.

5. Drink alcohol.

After swimming, some people think that they can quickly warm up with alcohol. This is wrong. Alcohol can give an imaginary feeling of warmth only in the first few minutes, when under its influence the blood vessels dilate. After this, they narrow sharply and you risk freezing very quickly.

Who should not dive into the ice hole:

If you are not feeling well or suffer from any illness, refrain from swimming in the ice hole.

In addition, first of all, children under 6 years old should not plunge into the ice hole. The release of hormones from immersion in cold water can seriously weaken their immunity.

Pregnant women are not allowed to swim either. Temperature changes can easily cause premature contractions and even miscarriage.

The baptism of Christ was performed by John the Baptist at his request. During his baptism on the Jordan River, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove. At the same time, a Voice from Heaven declared: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” According to Christian teachings, it was on this day that God appeared in three persons: God the Father in voice, the Son of God in flesh, and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. That is why the feast of Epiphany is often called Epiphany. The holiday of Epiphany is very important. It is believed that it was baptism that revealed the Savior to the world, who took upon himself all the sins of mankind. John Chrysostom wrote about this. And it was from the moment of baptism that Jesus began to preach the word of God and enlighten people.

Until now, the main traditions of the Epiphany holiday are associated with water. And the clergy traditionally wear white vestments on the feast of Epiphany.

How to celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord

The celebration of Epiphany (January 19) begins the day before - January 18. This day is called Epiphany Christmas Eve, as well as Hungry Kutya. By analogy with Christmas Eve, on the day before the feast of the Epiphany, it is necessary keep a strict fast. Also on the eve of the feast of Epiphany, Orthodox prepared Lenten kutya. The festive dinner on Epiphany Eve was called “hungry kutya”. The obligatory dishes of this meal were kutia, pancakes, and oatmeal jelly.

Kutya, kolivo, kanun - a ritual funeral dish of the Slavs, porridge cooked from whole grains of wheat (barley, rice - Saracen millet or other cereals), poured with honey, honey syrup or sugar, with the addition of poppy seeds, raisins, nuts, milk or jam.

An important event of Epiphany and Epiphany is blessing of water. On a river or lake, a cross-shaped hole called Jordan is cut out in advance in the ice. At midnight, priests bless the water in the wormwood, and believers take a bath in the consecrated water. People are not afraid of the cold because bathing for Epiphany- This is a symbolic cleansing from sins, spiritual rebirth. Believers eagerly await the Feast of Epiphany, and when the Epiphany of the Lord comes, the Orthodox are sure to attend church to remember a miraculous event that changed the world.

How to swim properly at Epiphany

For believers, bathing at Epiphany means communion with the special grace of the Lord, which he sends to all the water on this day. It is also believed that water at Epiphany brings health, both physical and spiritual. At the same time, the church warns against attaching any magical meaning to this tradition.

• Rules for bathing at Epiphany

The ice holes or Jordans in which people bathe at Epiphany are blessed. There are no strict rules for those who want to plunge into Jordan for Epiphany. But still, it is customary to quickly plunge headlong into the water 3 times, while crossing yourself and saying: In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is traditionally believed that on Epiphany one should swim in shirts, and not in swimsuits, so as not to expose one’s body.

Epiphany water - wonderful healing properties

In all springs consecrated at Epiphany, the water becomes holy and healing. It is believed, and this has many confirmations, that Epiphany holy water has miraculous and healing properties:

• Believers take it with them - Epiphany holy water has the ability not to spoil for a long time.
• Epiphany water is drunk on an empty stomach throughout the year, it is carefully preserved as a shrine and illnesses, both physical and mental, are treated.
• You can sprinkle your home with holy baptismal water to drive out evil spirits and bring the grace of God into the house.

Where to get Epiphany holy water

If you want to collect blessed Epiphany water after bathing, you don’t have to bring canisters. A small bottle is enough. According to Christian canons, any water can be made holy if you add a little baptismal water to it - from a temple or from Jordan. Festive services will be held in all Orthodox churches on the night from 18 to 19. But it is not necessary to come on this particular day. As explained in the Moscow Patriarchate, water becomes holy after a special water blessing prayer. Access to containers with Epiphany water will be open in churches for several days. In addition, on Epiphany, queues are expected to form for holy water, and it will be difficult to get to the temples. According to safety rules, on major religious holidays, parking near temples within 50 meters is prohibited.

When to collect Epiphany water

The rite of the Great Blessing of Water (Great Agiasma) is performed on Epiphany Eve (January 18) after the Divine Liturgy and on January 19 - on the day of the Epiphany itself. During both days, you can collect Epiphany water in any church. Both times the water is blessed with the same rite, so there is no difference in when to collect the water - on Christmas Eve or on the Feast of Epiphany itself.

If you decide to draw Epiphany water from the tap and want to know when is the best time to do it. It is better to collect water for Epiphany in the time interval from 00:10 to 01:30 on the night of January 18th to 19th. However, you can collect Epiphany water later - until 24:00 on January 19.

What you need to know before collecting water for Epiphany:

• It is better to collect Epiphany water not thoughtlessly, but after participating in a church service (in church) or prayer (at home);
• you need to pour water for Epiphany into a container without any markings - preferably into a special jug or flask purchased at a church store (in no case into a beer bottle)

Epiphany water is believed to have healing properties. You can drink it when you are sick on an empty stomach and wash your face to stay healthy. You need to drink Epiphany holy water with prayer, asking the Almighty for spiritual and physical health. And it is not at all necessary to take it in reserve; there should be a lot of faith, not water.

Baptism - folk traditions

Previously, there were special folk traditions for celebrating the Epiphany or Epiphany. For example, it was customary to release doves at Epiphany - as a sign of Divine grace descending on Jesus Christ. Other folk traditions for Epiphany are known from legends.

In Rus', on the day of the Baptism of the Lord, as soon as the first church bell called for matins, pious believers lit a fire on the shore so that Jesus Christ, who was baptized in the Jordan, could also warm himself by the fire.

They began to prepare the Jordan a week before Epiphany: they cut a hole in the river, sawed out a large cross and placed it over the hole. The throne was also cut out of ice. The “royal doors” were decorated with Christmas tree branches.

On the morning of the holiday, after the service, everyone went to the river. After the blessing of the water in the river, all those gathered collected it in their dishes. It was believed that the sooner you scoop it up, the more holy it will be. There were brave souls who swam in the Jordan, remembering that it was impossible to catch a cold in the blessed water.

Then everyone went home. And while the women were setting the table, the eldest man in the family sprinkled the entire household with Epiphany water. Before eating, everyone drank consecrated water. After eating, the girls hurried to the river to wash in “Jordanian water”, “so that their faces were pink.”

After Epiphany, it was forbidden to wash clothes in the river. According to legend, when a priest immerses a cross in water, all the evil spirits jump out of fear, and then sit on the shore and wait for someone to appear with dirty laundry. As soon as the laundry is lowered into the river, along it, like a ladder, all the evil spirits go into the water. Therefore, it was believed that the later women began to wash, the more wickedness would freeze out from the Epiphany frosts.

Fortune telling for Epiphany

There were other traditions - it was believed that miracles happened at Epiphany midnight: the wind subsided for a moment, complete silence reigned and the heavens opened. At this time, you can express your cherished wish, which will definitely come true.

There is another tradition at Epiphany, which, however, is not approved by the church. On January 19, Christmastide ends - the period of fortune telling in Rus'. On Epiphany night, the girls sought to understand what awaited them in the future, whether they would get married, whether the year would be successful.

Baptism - folk signs

Since ancient times, many folk signs have been associated with Epiphany. Many of them were related to the economic activities of peasants or predicted the weather. For example, folk signs for Epiphany read:

• If the weather is clear and cold at Epiphany, the summer will be dry; cloudy and fresh - to a bountiful harvest.
• A full month for Epiphany means a big spring flood.
• Starry night on Epiphany - the summer will be dry, there will be a harvest for peas and berries.
• There will be a thaw at Epiphany - for the harvest, and a clear day at Epiphany - for the harvest failure.
• The wind will blow from the south on Epiphany - it will be a stormy summer.
• If it snows during the liturgy, especially while going to the water, then next year is expected to be fruitful, and there will be many swarms of bees.

When is Epiphany The dogs were barking a lot, waiting for a successful hunting season: If dogs bark a lot on Epiphany, there will be plenty of all kinds of animals and game. Chickens are not fed at Epiphany so that the gardens are not dug in the summer and the seedlings are not spoiled.

The Russian folk calendar associates the holiday of Epiphany with frost. Epiphany frosts: “Cracking frost, not crackling, but Vodokreshchi has passed.

How to swim properly at Epiphany so as not to get sick

Both old and young swim at Epiphany. But without special preparation, swimming can be dangerous for children and the elderly. It is better to prepare in advance by gradually hardening yourself by pouring cold water at home in the bathroom. Precautionary measures must be observed by everyone who decides to swim at Epiphany. Doctors warn people with hypertension, rheumatism, atherosclerosis or tuberculosis from swimming at Epiphany. Swimming at Epiphany is also unacceptable for other acute chronic diseases. Doctors warn that swimming in ice water can lead to negative consequences. After all, winter swimming in an ice hole puts all the mechanisms of human thermoregulation into maximum tension and this can cause shock.

Well, if you are healthy, then follow these recommendations: how to swim properly at Epiphany:

• You can swim on Epiphany only in an ice hole where there is a special entrance to the water;
• never go swimming at Epiphany alone, there should be a person nearby who can help if necessary;
• Alcohol and cigarettes are prohibited before swimming; do not swim on an empty stomach or immediately after eating;
• Bring a blanket with you, as well as clothes that are comfortable for changing.

Residents of the capital are reminded that winter swimming is contraindicated for people with the following diseases: inflammation of the nasopharynx, paranasal cavities, otitis media; of cardio-vascular system; central nervous system; peripheral nervous system; endocrine system; organs of vision and breathing; genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract, as well as skin and venereal diseases.

It is necessary to plunge into an ice hole only in specially equipped places and under the supervision of rescuers. First you need to warm up your body: go for a run or do a warm-up. It is better to do this in comfortable, non-slip and easily removable shoes, and to reach the ice hole, boots, woolen socks or rubber slippers will be useful.

It is best to plunge up to your neck without getting your head wet. When entering the water for the first time, try to quickly reach the desired depth, but do not swim. It is recommended to stay in the ice hole for no more than one minute.

“When sinking to the bottom in a small hole, the danger also consists of the following. Not everyone knows how to descend vertically. Many descend at an angle, moving towards the edge of the ice. At a depth of 4 m, the displacement from the starting point can reach 1 - 1.5 meters. When ascending with your eyes closed in a small ice hole, you can “miss” and hit your head on the ice. If you have a child with you, keep an eye on him as he dives into the hole. A frightened child can easily forget that he knows how to swim,” noted the Office for the South-Western Administrative District of the Civil Defense and Emergency Safety Department.

How to get out of the hole? When leaving, you can scoop up handfuls of water and, leaning on the handrails, quickly and energetically rise. It is not recommended to hold onto the handrails directly; it is better to use a dry towel or a handful of snow. Insurance and mutual assistance will be useful.

After swimming, you need to rub yourself with a terry towel and put on dry clothes. You should also drink hot tea.
