STORYLINE:
Late at night on Wednesday, Russians rushed to rivers and lakes to celebrate the Orthodox Epiphany.
The festival is celebrated on Jan. 19, but people traditionally jump into cold water on the evening of Jan. 18.
They believe that water will wash away all their sins and diseases.
Emergency staff were also on duty to check the bottom of the water and explained safety rules to all those willing to dive in.
