		</div><p>Russians celebrate Thousands of Russians have taken a dip in icy waters to celebrate Epiphany, a major holiday in Orthodox Christianity which marks the birth and baptism of Jesus.</p>
<p>Water blessed by a priest on the Epiphany week in Orthodox tradition is considered holy and pure, and bathing is believed to have healing powers.</p>
<p>In Moscow, authorities set up 60 official bathing sites for believers on Monday night, from open-air pools to holes in ponds. Temperatures in the city were minus 10C (14F) overnight.</p>
<p>For some Russians this year, Epiphany bathing was a more relaxed experience.</p>
<p>The defence ministry organised celebrations for the troops serving at Russia’s military base in Syria by putting up an inflated rubber pool.</p>
