The word baptism means immersion in water. This holiday carries a lot of traditions and customs . But I will tell you about the basic and most familiar to all traditions.
Girls on the eve of baptismal night were fortune-telling on the betrothed, even though guessing on the eve of the holiday was considered a sin. ✨
The main symbol of this holiday is water. It is believed that all the water became miraculous: whether it was river or snow in the clear field, or water from the well.
Epiphany morning, it is customary to start by drinking holy water.

On the eve of Epiphany baked crosses mothers of the family - as a rule, wishing for the well-being of the household. Unflawed cookies promised an easy and prosperous year, cracks boded for difficulties. If a cross would not bake or burn - you would be ill. Failed cookies were crumbled to birds, to drive away misfortune.

Also on this holy holiday is customary to take a dip in the ice-hole with water, it was considered as protection or purification from all sins. ⭐

Epiphany is a great Christian holiday, so believers necessarily go to church on this day.
Do you have this holy holiday?🎊
