Russian soldiers from the 102nd military base in Armenia’s Gyumri took part in the traditional Orthodox Epiphany ice-water plunge, symbolising the baptism of Jesus Christ. Footage shows clergy blessing the water as servicemen immerse themselves during the January 19 religious holiday. The Southern Military District said medical teams were deployed to ensure safety during the ceremony. Epiphany bathing is believed by Orthodox Christians to cleanse sins and bring spiritual renewal.
