People bath in water during a traditional Epiphany celebration as the temperature dropped to about -18 degrees (-0.4 degrees Fahrenheit) near the Achairsky monastery outside the Siberian city of Omsk, Russia, Friday, Jan. 19, 2024. Across Russia, the devout and the daring are observing the Orthodox Christian feast day of Epiphany by immersing themselves in frigid water through holes cut through the ice of lakes and rivers. Epiphany celebrates the revelation of Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God through his baptism in the River Jordan. (AP/PTI) (AP01_20_2024_000001B)
