Brief History Holiday Baptism of the Lord

The ceremony of the baptism of Christ at his request was made by John the Baptist. During the baptism on the Jordan River on Jesus, the Holy Spirit in the form of a pigeon. At the same time, the voice from heaven proclaimed: "This is the son of my beloved, in which my favor."

According to Christian teachings, it was on this day that God appeared in three faces: God Father - in his voice, the Son of God - in the flesh, the Holy Spirit - in the form of a dove. Therefore, the festival of baptism is often referred to by the Epiphany. Holiday Baptism The Lord is very important. It is believed that it was Baptism that he was the world of the Savior, who took over all the sins of mankind. John Zlatoust wrote about this.

And from the moment of baptism, Jesus began to preach the Word of God and enlighten people.

Until now, the main traditions of the holiday baptism are associated with water. And the clergy for the holiday of baptism on tradition is in white rises.

The celebration of the Baptism of the Lord (January 19) begins the day before - January 18. This day is called the Epiphany Christmas Eve, as well as hungry klya. By analogy with the Christmas Eve, a day before the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, it is necessary to observe a strict post.

Also on the eve of the feast of the Epiphany, Orthodox prepared lented kits. Festive dinner in the Epiphany Christmas Eve was called "Hungry Buck." There were cats, pancakes, oatmeal kissel, the mandatory dish of this meal.

Casca, coloyo, eve - a ritual memorial dish of Slavs, porridge, cooked from whole wheat grain (barley, rice - Saracinsky milf or other croup), Mid, honey, honey or sugar, with poppy, raisins, nuts, milk or jam.

An important event of the Baptism of the Lord and Epiphany is the Water Engineering. On the river or on the lake, the cruciform wormwood is in advance, called Jordan. With the onset of midnight, priests sanctify water in the cavity, and believers perform ablution in consecrated water.

Is it necessary to "dive" in the student water?


Consecration to water is entitled to have the right only to the Church's priest. The rite is preceded by reading the corresponding prayers and the immersion of the cross in "Jordan", into the water. In the days of the Baptism of the Lord, all the water becomes saint and is used by Orthodox for healing, prayer and strengthening of the Spirit. It is important to remember that the full ablution of holy water is definitely part of the tradition, but not necessarily dive into the hole completely.


Omotion in consecrated water bodies is carried out in order to strengthen and harde the body. This tradition originates from swimming babies in ice water in ancient Scythian peoples.


The church clarifies that the ablution in the hole is not the responsibility of believers, the touch of holy water should be carried out by their forces, for example, weak and sick people can be improved by the water and wash, but to dive with all the body in cold water the reservoir is permissible only than the most brave.
