STORLYINE:
Orthodox Christians across Europe celebrated the Christian festival of Epiphany on Monday by attending church services and swimming in the ice cold waters of rivers and lakes.
In Russia's capital, Moscow, the Metropolitan Kirill - the interim patriarch of Russia - conducted a service at the Epiphany Cathedral.
Hundreds of people attended the mass and waited in long lines outside to have their plastic bottles filled with holy water that had been blessed by the patriarch.
The Russian Orthodox faithful believe that holy water blessed on Epiphany has special healing qualities.
Many store the water at home for the year and it's customary to drink a little every morning before eating.
Priests also recommend the holy water be sprinkled on food and other household goods.
Other believers took to the Moskva River on Monday to seek god's blessing by immersing themselves in the freezing waters three times.
It's believed that on this special day, the waters of Russia's waterways are holy.
In Serbia, there was also a procession to mark the day, as well as a traditional swimming competition.
About 35 members of the gendarmerie and ordinary citizens took part in the traditional Epiphany race to retrieve a cross in Belgrade's Ada Ciganlija lake.
Marko Tomasevic, a member of the gendarmerie, won the race for the third year in a row, proclaiming it easier than ever.
For Western Christians, the Epiphany festival celebrates the Three Wise Men visiting Jesus, but Orthodox Christians in Russia and Serbia celebrate it as the anniversary of the baptism of Jesus Christ.

Петр благоволил построению Богоявленского собора. Тем более, что после петровских реформ грань Немецкой слободы и остальной Москвы постепенно стиралась, и все больше и больше православных русских людей селились в том р-не. С течением времени, с постепенным исчезновением замкнутой иноземной сл, их становилось все больше и больше, и тесная Богоявленская церковь уже не вмещала всех молящихся. В 1792-93 гг. к ней пристроили обширную трапезную, куда перенесли и старый Благовещенский придел, а также освятили новый - во имя св. Николая Чудотворца.
