Throughout Russia, traditional Epiphany bathing took place, timed to coincide with one of the main Christian holidays - the Baptism of the Lord. In a number of regions of the country, the bathing ceremony was canceled amid a pandemic. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, in 2021 a little more than 2.5 thousand bathing places were opened in Russia, while last year there were at least 1,000 more such locations.
