Orthodox Christians celebrate Epiphany
Old Orthodox Christians celebrate Lord’s Baptising or Epiphany today, January 19. This is the time when the Savior was baptized by John in the waters of the Jordan river at the age of 30.
The Divine Liturgy held in churches in the morning is followed by the blessing of water, which is believed to have healing powers. The parishioners are invited to church to take blessed water.
The Christians come with clean containers and receive blessed water that is used to splash the grains, orchards and homes and even to drink.
Epiphany is celebrated on January 19. Usually called the Feast of Theophany, it is one of the Great Feasts of the liturgical year. The row of winter feasts is closed by the Feast of Saint John the Baptist observed on January 20.
