Orthodox Epiphany Serbia

Believers throughout
Serbia, Ukraine and Russia celebrate one of the most important holidays
in the Christian calendar. Many believers enter the icy water on
Epiphany. Swimming was held in my hometown, at Lake Markovac in
Mladenovac, for the 16th year in a row. Epiphany is one of the biggest
holidays in the Orthodox church. This is one of the oldest holidays,
even older than Christmas, which was once celebrated together with
epiphany. For BBC on Serbian.
