Friends!

Today the Orthodox and Greek Catholics celebrate the great holiday - Epiphany or Theophany.

People call this day in different ways: Epiphany or Jordan. On this holiday, people remember how Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Saint John the Baptist. In the Bible it is said that during the baptism of Jesus from heaven like a dove descended the Holy Spirit, and the voice of God was heard. That’s why this holiday is called Epiphany.

Epiphany or Theophany is the day when all the reservoirs of water is healing. So on this day people drink holy water and dive into it.

Young people are actively involved in the festive traditions. Every year the number of those, who dive to Epiphany hole, known as Jordan, is becoming more.

Another good tradition – people should not work on this holiday, you should dedicate a day to cleansing of the soul from sins. You need to spend a holiday in a good mood and warm atmosphere, you cannot complain, lie or slander.

Friends! On this day, I wish you pure thoughts and actions throughout the year! Be sincere, friendly and everything around you will be bright and good.

Let the joy in your home rule,
Christ was baptized, gives peace of the world,
To have you good health,
To fill you with wisdom and strength,
For each day from today,
Surely only bring joy!
