19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Epiphany touch

A large number of people: adults and children come annually in Epiphany from 18 to 19 January at the lake Semenovskoe in Murmansk. Only people with great Faith and strong Spirit can wait patiently for their turn in 20 degrees cold and then three times plunge into cold water with joy.
