Especially severe baptic frosts, at least in Yekaterinburg, is not expected, but also there will be no thaw: the temperature on the night of January 18-19 and the day of January 19 will hold on -15 ° C. Water in natural water bodies, where Jordan is already cut down, at this time of the year usually about +3 ° C. People such temperatures are not frightened: In recent years, Epiphany bathing has become a truly massive phenomenon. Last year, according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, about 60 thousand people dived into the corruption of the Middle Urals. This year is expected no less.
As a rule, about 20 foxes work in Yekaterinburg and the surrounding area. There are more than 100 countries around the region.
It is believed that dipping to Jordan (the Epipper Drub wears the name of the river, in which, according to the Scripture, the baptized Jesus Christ, - Jordan) washes off sins accumulated during the year, and brings health.
Medics with the latest statement disagree: in their opinion, swimming in ice water for an unprepared person is more harmful to health than good.
Natalia Berezenkova, UMMK-Health Clinic Therapist:
Epiphany bathing is primarily beneficial for the human soul, this is his meaning. To approach this as a single disposable procedure for the health of the body - incorrectly: not from the point of view of medicine, nor from the point of view of religion. As for medicine, the body is immersion in ice water - stress, which can lead, among other things, to death.
According to Natalia Berezenkova, to plunge into the hole for baptism without negative health effects, you should pre-prepare yourself to this. "Undoubtedly, cold water bears the body's body - then the hardest thing about which, of course, know. But it is necessary to harden correctly: for several months, it is imperative, gradually lowering the temperature so that the body is accustomed. "Walrow" do this: none of them climbs into the hole without appropriate training, "explains the therapist.
One of the main risks Ice bathing for an unprepared person - ability to overcoat And, as a result, get colds. And it's not about ORVI at all and not even about pneumonia. "It can be an angina, prostatitis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, arthritis - from supercooling can suffer from the body of the body, which" will fail ", and only a person may not know about it at all - no one passes the doctor's inspection before divering" - explains Natalia Berezenkova.
Next in the list - risk of heart attacks. As a result of stress, the heart begins to fight and drive blood according to vessels, and those, in turn, are compressed due to the effects of low temperatures. The ability to get a heart attack or stroke increases many times. Many believe that vessels can be previously expanded by taking alcohol. But it's not at all. Scientists have proven that alcohol affects only the vessels that are located along the path of the drink, the esophagus, the gastrointestinal tract. Before the periphery, that is, to the limbs, the action almost does not reach. But in any case, instant expansion, and then the same instant narrowing of the vessels can be transferred even to every more or less healthy organism. What to say about those who have some diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Hypertensive crisis - Another risk for those who decided to climb into the water, after without checking the pressure and take a little on the chest. At low air temperatures, pressure is usually also increased, alcohol is aggravated. Rapid cooling can even more increase the pressure, as a result, a person will receive a hypertonic crisis or hemorrhagic stroke due to the rupture of the aorta wall.
Alcohol gives another problem: Endorphins thrown into the blood under its effects are added endorphins developed by adrenal glands to neutralize stress, for the brain of this quantity a lot: it loses the ability to recognize the danger (for example, if a person from cooling began a convulsion) and give a signal at the right moment.
Doctors note that the effects of ice bath can not appear immediately, but for two to three weeks. These are mainly colds, as well as exacerbation of chronic diseases.
"If nevertheless, an unprepared person decided to climb into the hole, it is better ... he doesn't do it," Natalia Berezenkova is sure. In the end, it is possible to join the sacrament, having fallen with holy water at home. "The closed fonts also bear smaller health risk - the temperature difference in them, as a rule, less, and the water is usually warmer than in natural water bodies," the doctor notes. Another good option, in her opinion, is to plunge into the hole after the bath and again return to the bath.
Those who still risk climbing in water without prior training, doctors give such advice:
1. In no case do not drink alcohol - Neither before, nor after nor, especially during swimming.
2. Drink hot tea- You can do it before dipping and after: unlike alcohol, the hot liquid really expands the vessels, warming the body.
3. Before bathing make several warming exercises -mahi hands, squats, running in place.
4 . Do not immediately discharge all the clothes- It is necessary to do it gradually so that the body is mastered with cold. First remove the top, in a couple of minutes - shoes, in a couple of minutes you can remove the pants and go into the water.
5. approach the hole better in woolen socks - You can dip and dip.
6. It is possible to take a maximum of two minutes., Better - less: The body will begin to translate.
7. Immediately after swimming, get drunk with a towel and put on warm linen.
Swimming in cold water is the most powerful stress for the body. The best option is a preliminary procedure for hardening, a sequential teaching to a sharp change of temperature.
When a person is immersed in ice water, the spasm of the vessels of the skin leads to the redistribution of blood towards the internal organs, which the load is sharply increasing, first of all - on the heart. In this case, a person suffering from arterial hypertension can increase pressure.
Who is contraindicated to dip in Jordan on baptism!
It is not recommended to risk health to people who suffer from heart diseases, arterial hypertension, arrhythmia and obesity. Solving respiratory diseases, for example, asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, frontitis, should also be held from the desire to swim in the cornube. It is also impossible to bathe people who have severe skin diseases, such as psoriasis or eczema. Cannot be bathing against the backdrop of colds, elevated temperature. Sharply increases the risk of sick pneumonia.
Epiphany bathing will not bring benefits to citizens who suffer from stress, insomnia, tend to neurotic reactions, are registered with a psychiatrist, they receive psychological assistance.
People with chronic diseases, young children and the elderly to refrain from this rite or take a contrast shower at home.
How not to get sick after swimming in the hole!
In order not to get sick after swimming in the hole, it is recommended to carefully dry the body with a towel, get into woolen warm clothes, drink hot tea with honey, do not drink alcohol and, if possible, do not walk on long distances, but to sit in warm transport.
Can I swim in the hole, if you do not believe in God?
Baptism in the hole is a national old custom, not a church sacrament, only repentance when confirming in the temple makes it possible to absorb sins. Therefore, if you do not dip in the hole, nothing from person will not lose.
Attention!
If you decide to join the ancient rite, first of all, objectively appreciate your capabilities. Do not risk your health. It is advisable to consult your attending physician.
On January 19, Orthodox and Grequocatolic Christians celebrate baptism. Early in the morning on this day it is customary to shit water. It is believed that she acquires healing properties to baptism and retains them throughout the year. Also, another tradition is connected with this day: in the olden, on the eve of Yordan, the big cross cut into ice and installed it vertically next to the hole. The Ice Cross was decorated and poured by a beet kvass, from which he became red, and everyone died in his hole. This tradition has survived to this day. The one who ventured this believes that healing baptic water will give him health for the whole year. There are mobblers, which even in a heavy frost jump into ice water. We will tell you how you do not need to behave if you decide on this feat.
10 Anti-Soviet Wizard-novice
No preparation
Baptism occurs once a year, and nothing terrible will happen if you dangle without any preparation. Only real bores are pre-snowing and poured with cold water in the shower. But they receive pleasure from swimming in the hole, not inflammation.
Sit in standing
No hats, more buttons and fasteners - let everyone see what your good taste is. In the meantime, you will pull and fasten all this beauty - necessarily freezing to the thread.
Go dive hungry
Although the food you adopted will go to heating the body and give energy to transfer cold stress, but why spend an extra time for food?
Come alone
Then no one can file you a towel and call "ambulance" if you suddenly become bad.
Drink aperitif
Alcohol contributes to the rapid supercooling and will give an excessive load on the heart, and therefore pneumonia and other inflammations are not far off.
Immediately in water
Duck-snapped and ready! And at the same time, the blood flows to the heart and the brain, threatening you with infarction and stroke.
Do not remove smelting
Why deprive the surrounding opportunities to admire your swimsuit, which you will shoot for a long time in the cold and unscrew, losing precious minutes.
Sit longer - get ready for
Following such logic than the longer the exposure to holy water, the more diseases you can heal. But it is enough for 10 seconds - just enough to plunge three times, as expected by tradition. If you sit longer, the body may not bear the supercooling.
From the water - on the ice
After the hole, jump straight on the ice, because you forgot to bring a rug with you. Just do not stand for too long - wet heels quickly stick to ice.
Out of once
I do not have enough trouble - buttoning buttons and comb your hair on frost. Of course, the wet body under the clothes will quickly freeze, and the cold is guaranteed you.
Opinions of specialists
Alexey Ivaknenko, Neurologist, Director of the Medical and Diagnostic Center for the International Institute of Biological Systems:
"In fact, nothing terrible for health in such a ritual is not. If we are talking about short-term immersion. The stress that receives the body for a rather short period of time, does not have time to hurt human health, rather, on the contrary. A sharp immersion in cold water is a strong stress (not only physical, but also mental), a kind of shake for the whole organism. There is a powerful emission of adrenal hormones. And, as you know, hormonal therapy is considered one of the most powerful funds in the treatment of many diseases. With short-term immersion in cold water, only outer coverings are cooled, the internal organs, the more brain, will not have time to feel the effects of cold. And to enhance your "frost-resistant", you can eat a tablespoon of fish fat with a slice of well salted black bread.
But if you sit in the hole to goosebumps, it will not lead to anything good, even if a person is absolutely healthy. Blood rushes to the heart and brain, stimulating the work of these organs. Due to the spasm of vessels, the risk of heart attack, stroke, cramps and rapid development of pneumonia arises. In addition, the reproductive function suffers, as well as digestion. It should also be remembered that swimming in the hole is categorically contraindicated in cold allergies, inflammatory gynecological diseases, tuberculosis, impaired kidney, pregnancy, epilepsy and diseases of the heart and vessels. "
Igor Pashko, Orthodox priest, the protoier of the temple of the introduction into the temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
"Unfortunately, many people perceive swimming in a hole for baptism as a sacred ritual. But it does not have anything to do with faith or god. This is an old pagan tradition destroyed in the framework of Orthodoxy. With the same success, you can plunge into the hole on any other day and get a wellness effect according to the laws of molding. The composition of water for baptism does not change. Her properties change, after being consecrated in the temple. Water is connected to the divine energy and acquires healing force. And you can plunge, the main thing is the right attitude. After all, cold water is a strong stress for the body, if you add more fear to him - the body is ill. After all, stress and fear are single-roof words that have the same energy nature. Moreover, the ablution in baptismic water does not clear from all sins "automatically", for this purpose you need to go to confession and communion. But the sanctified in the temple water really heals. And it is impossible to explain this phenomenon of a miracle with physical terms. The effect of rehabilitation occurs through faith, through collective prayers. Such water is stored for a long time, and you can use it when you get sick.
In the Church of Baptism, water is sanctified twice: on the eve of the holiday - January 18 and the 19th. The first portion of water is usually used for the abyption of premises, animals, cars, etc. The second is used for drinking in health. And it is not necessary to dare, having taken from the temple on this day a canister on a dozen-other liters. Sanctified water can be added to a simple clean, and the whole it will also be full of grace and not spoil. Therefore, it is enough to take a small bottle - and the water is enough until the next baptism you and your loved ones. "
Hello, dear readers! On January 19, all believers celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, the most ancient holiday of Christians. From a long time, in Russia, it was believed that swimming in baptismic water, eliminates many ailments. Swimming in the hole in baptism - what is it? Tribute fashion or, really, behind this is the healing of the soul and body? This is speech today.
Some believe that the roots of this holiday refer to pagan culture. Currently, on the night of January 18 to January 19, there is a consecration of holy water and sources. Many people are built into the queue to take the holy water or swim in the consecrated source.
According to the Gospel, it is believed that on this day Jesus Christ came to the Jordan River in Vifavar, where John the Baptist was, in order to take the baptism from him. John, who pretended the Savior's Agrantened Coming, was surprised by saying Jesus that he would have to be baptized from him. But in response, Jesus replied that "to fulfill us to fulfill all the truth" and adopted baptism from John. During the baptism, the sky turned around and on Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit with the words "You are my beloved son, in you my favor!"
Usually at this time in Russia there are strong frosts, they call them even bachers. But frosts seemed to have passed, and there are relatively warm weather throughout Russia.
On the eve of baptism on January 19, on water bodies and rivers in many cities, and in small villages where there are churches, special holes are cut down, in which everyone can plunge. Many do it because of the true faith in God, and someone is just for Extreme.
But with whatever purpose, the person does not plunge into ice water in the hole, first of all, you need to be ready for this, not only physically, but also morally. It is still, especially for the body of an unprepared person, stress. The unprepared body can experience a feeling of cold, but only short-term. This is based on the method of hardening.
It is necessary to know that water -, it has the ability to perceive any information, while changing its structure under the influence of the source of information. Entering into the hole, first of all, a mood is needed for good and useful. Water feels and will answer you the same thing you wish.
How the body reacts on swimming in the hole
Permanent swimming in the face of the winter is one of the ways to harde the organism, the prevention of colds, training of blood vessels. But if a person decided once a year, to the baptism to swim in the corner, will it be harmful to its body? How can his body respond to such a strongest stress as immersion in ice water?
- When immersed in cold water with a head, an instant awakening of the central nervous system occurs, the operation of many centers is activated.
- At the same time, the release of the protective forces of the body occurs, the body temperature after contact with cold water reaches a temperature of 40 ⁰. We know that this temperature is destructive for viruses, bacteria and patients with cells.
- During stress (positive) from the immersion in ice water in the human body, a hormone is produced by adrenaline, which has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, increases mental energy and activity. In addition, adrenaline has a pronounced antiallergic and anti-inflammatory effect, improves blood composition, relieves pain, swelling and spasm.
Swimming in Epiphany
Of course, to climb into ice water, I repeat, you need a special mood. But one mood is not enough. There are certain rules that will help properly make this rite.
- First, it is necessary to swim only in a specially equipped corner. It will be fine if the descent in the hole is equipped with a ladder with handrails.
- Secondly, never go alone to swim in the hole. Unforeseen circumstances may arise and you may need help.
- And last. Going to swimming in the holes are right. For swimming, take a swimsuit or a simple shirt, slippers or to conveniently go through the snow or ice. To change clothes, take dry clothes, but such that it can be quickly putting on it.
How to swim in the hole
To the corruption, approach without hurrying, go down to the water carefully, better holding the handrails, slightly tilt the body forward so as not to slip. In no case do not dive and do not jump into the water - it is dangerous for life.
During swimming, according to church rules, it is necessary to plunge into the water with your head three times. But if you are not configured for it, you should not do this, immerse yourself in the neck. It is no longer necessary to be in the hole for more than 1 minute so that your body does not hurt.
If a child is with you, be sure to follow my well-being, keep it by the hand. With young children, I personally would not recommend performing such a procedure.
Get out of the water, too, very carefully, holding the handrails, so as not to slip. Immediately after that, try to remove raw clothes, sort yourself up with a towel of drying. Although, the towel is usually not required: the body itself is instantly dried - checked twice on personal experience. And immediately put on yourself dry underwear.
If you feel that you are cold, then make energetic movements, and coming home, drink hot tea to warm up.

How I bathed in the corner - personal experience
I happened to experience such happiness three times. True, for the first time it was late in the village of Velikoretsky. This village is famous for the fact that one day, back in the XIX century, one peasant under the roots of pines on the bank of the Great River found the icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker. This icon subsequently cured many people and since then she is very revered. Now this icon is located in the trifon monastery of the city of Kirov. With this icon, annually, in June, the Great-Knotsky procession passes, which is going to dozens of thousands of people from all over Russia and not only.
The second time I plunged into the hole in baptism. I want to talk about my feelings.
That time was frost about 20⁰. But it so happened that we were the company when they returned from fitness, we decided to go and swim in the hole. For a whole week, remembering that I had to go swimming, everything was chicder from fear inside. But since she promised, then you need to go.
The hole was kipped with a tent, in it people undressed, and came into a hole. Having secured a small queue, we also went to the tent, quickly undressed and went to the hole. In the hole, the staircase with the handrail was descended. Going into the water, I felt the legs burned. There was only one thought in my head: do not stop! Going to the hole, I felt small needles in the body, but still I plunged into the water with my head three times!
Coming out of the corner, my body was burning. Probably, my blood vessels of the skin extended that I was hot. The skin is instantly dried. Only on the head were icicles. Quickly wiped her head with a towel and changed in dry clothes, we left the tent. The queue to the corruses increased even more.
But I liked my feeling after the hole. There was an amazing ease, joy and feeling, I would say, pride for myself - I could! The most interesting thing, after such a bathing didn't even sneeze, it means that I only had such a bathing.
For the third time, I plunged into the baptism after 2 years. Remembering that day, I was not going to swim in the hole. Everything turned out spontaneously, girlfriends arrived, they said "Let's go swimming, dress accordingly!" Gathered at 3 minutes. And again I felt that unforgettable buzz from immersion in ice water.

On the eve of the festival of the Baptism of the Lord, many people wonder - there is the benefit from swimming in a hole for baptism? Is it possible to wash yourself from sins after immersion in ice water? How is the recovery after swimming in the hole? How does this procedure affect the body of an unprepared or non-unknown person? Let's deal with these questions.
The benefits of the corruption - what doctors say?
The use of bathing in ice water is undoubtedly there. With short-term immersion in such water in the human body, the following occurs. Our body from a strong temperature drop is under stress, thanks to which many adrenal hormones are thrown into the blood. It is known that when they fall into the bloodstream, the body gets shake. In the usual situation, these hormones stand out to a large extent when a person is experiencing strong fear or falls into extreme conditions.
So conceived by nature so that a person can survive - adrenal hormones activate various processes in our body, thanks to which people can cope with a large load. Having plunged into the ice water, the human body falls into an unusual environment, as a result of the emission of adrenaline, all organs begin to work at the limit of their capabilities. It is due to this effect most people, after bathing for baptism, get rid of various diseases.
Correct setting
It is worth mentioning another factor, why it is useful to swim on baptism in the hole. It is associated with the psychological attitude of people who have decided to plunge into the hole. All of them go there voluntarily, but encourages them to the action of faith in the fact that this ritual or tradition will help heaisy or spiritually clear. In fact, baptic water does not wash off sins - if people came incorrectly towards others, they will not change after swimming.
Cleaning promotes the awareness of their actions and repentance in them. Restressing implies reluctance to repeat them. It is this that cleans sins and makes us better. But people swimming in the frost in the hole believe in the fact that the ablution will help them improve themselves, it is their mood and is a decisive factor. People seem to program themselves for recovery, tying their faith and conviction with a certain action - swimming in the hole. That is why many still feel the positive effect of immersion in ice water over a long period of time.
Medical contraindications

A sharp temperature difference can provoke the spasm of all vessels and capillaries. Such a shock may result in poorly, if you have a weak heart. There is a risk of heart attack and stop heart.

Women suffering from inflammation of appendages should be refrained from diving into the hole. People who have repeatedly manifested allergies to the cold, can also be molded too. If you are diagnosed with convulsive syndrome, epilepsy, tuberculosis, or the work of the kidney is broken, then swimming in the hole damage the body.
If you still decided to participate in mass folk bathing of believers for the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, then you will certainly use the following recommendations.

2. Do not drink alcohol before bathing, eat a little bit.
3. Put on the head rubber hat.
4. Sleep into the water slowly, but you are in it no more than 10 seconds. This time is enough for triple dive. Long-term foundation in water is dangerous to health.
5. When you get out of the hole, immediately intensely laugh with a towel so that the skin flushes. So you will strengthen blood circulation and quickly warm.
6. Upon returning home drink hot tea.

According to the priests, the custom of swimming in the hole is not really associated with faith in God. He has pagan roots. As one father says, absolutely all the water is consecrated on the day of the Baptism of the Lord. If someone does not want to swim in the hole in their will or because of illness or age, he can get God's grace, just waving off with sanctified water or drinking a small amount. But, first of all, the believer must conduct an awning lifestyle to receive a blessing.
