The Feast of the Epiphany is one of the most ancient holidays Christian Church. Its establishment dates back to the time of the apostles. The ancient name of the holiday is “Epiphany” - phenomenon, or “Theophany” - Epiphany, it was also called “Feast of Lights”, “Holy Lights” or simply “Lights”. For God comes into the world on this day to show the world the Unapproachable Light.
The holiday begins on the evening of January 18, when all Orthodox Christians celebrate Epiphany Eve.
The word “baptize”, “baptize”, means in Greek “immerse in water.” It is impossible to understand the meaning and importance of baptism without first understanding the symbolic and real meaning of water in the Old Testament. Water is the beginning of life. It is from water fertilized by the life-giving Spirit that all living beings will come into being. Where there is no water, there is a desert. But water can both destroy and destroy - just as God filled sins with the water of the great flood and destroyed human evil.
John's baptism was symbolic and meant that just as the body is washed and cleansed with water, so the soul of a person who repents and believes in the Savior will be cleansed from all sins by Christ.
After the Baptism of Christ, baptism for people is no longer just a symbol of cleansing. Here Jesus revealed Himself to the world as the Christ, the Son of God. “I have seen, I testify: He is God’s Chosen One,” confirms John the Baptist. Epiphany revealed to us the great Divine mystery of the Holy Trinity. Now everyone who is baptized participates in this mystery.
Baptism is the beginning of the restoration of the original image of God in fallen man. Great mystery, performed in baptism, does not reach consciousness immediately. Epiphany makes us a “single branch” with Christ, as if grafting us into Him. In the water of baptism, the source of new life, a person dies to sin and is resurrected to God. But in order to truly fulfill your baptism, that is, to become the image of Christ, you need your whole life.
Epiphany, or Epiphany, is celebrated Orthodox Church January 19, new style. On the eve of the holiday, January 18, a strict fast was established.
The whole family, as before Christmas, gathers at the table, to which only Lenten dishes are served; kutia (juicy) is prepared from rice, honey and raisins.
In memory of the fact that the Savior sanctified water with His Baptism, there is a blessing of water; On the eve of the holiday, water is consecrated in churches, and on the very feast of Epiphany - in rivers or other places where water is taken. The religious procession to the Jordan is a procession to consecrate natural reservoirs.
Epiphany is one of the most ancient Christian holidays, marking the appearance of the savior - the Son of God. Give your loved ones congratulations on the Epiphany of the Lord on January 19, and you will thereby let your loved ones know that you are not indifferent to their fate, that you remember them and are always ready to help.

We thank heaven
Because the paths are open to us,
For believing in miracles!

They leave with the ablutions,

And the family is waiting impatiently...

Holiday Epiphany- one of the most ancient holidays of the Christian Church. Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. During baptism, according to the Gospels, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove. At the same time, a Voice from Heaven declared: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
The word “baptize”, “baptize”, means in Greek “immerse in water.” It is impossible to understand the meaning and importance of baptism without first understanding the symbolic and real meaning of water in the Old Testament. Water is the beginning of life. It is from water fertilized by the life-giving Spirit that all living beings will come into being. Where there is no water, there is a desert. But water can both destroy and destroy - just as God filled sins with the water of the great flood and destroyed human evil. John's baptism was symbolic and meant that just as the body is washed and cleansed with water, so the soul of a person who repents and believes in the Savior will be cleansed from all sins by Christ.
According to the Gospel story, after his baptism, Jesus Christ, led by the Spirit, withdrew into the desert in order to prepare in solitude, prayer and fasting to fulfill the mission with which he came to earth. Jesus “was tempted by the devil for forty days and did not eat anything during these days, but after they were over, he was finally hungry.” Then the devil approached him and, with three seductions, tried to tempt him to sin, like any other person.
After the Baptism of Christ, baptism for people is no longer just a symbol of cleansing. Here Jesus revealed Himself to the world as the Christ, the Son of God. “I have seen, I testify: He is God’s Chosen One,” confirms John the Baptist. Epiphany revealed to us the great Divine mystery of the Holy Trinity. Now everyone who is baptized participates in this mystery.
In Russia, on the night of Epiphany, it is customary to bless water. The clergy wear white robes for this holiday. There is also a custom of fortune telling at Epiphany, unacceptable by the church, associated with ancient pagan traditions. The Russian folk calendar identifies the holiday of Epiphany with frosts, the so-called. "Epiphany frosts."
