EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alexei Yefimov, we witness a breathtaking moment of faith and devotion in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, Russia. The image portrays a man standing on the banks of the Ob River, preparing to immerse himself in its icy waters during an Orthodox Epiphany celebration. Despite the bone-chilling air temperature plummeting to minus 30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit), Orthodox believers like him participate in this annual ritual without hesitation. This timeless tradition is observed on January 19th every year, as they commemorate Epiphany by submerging themselves in freezing waters, regardless of weather conditions. The photograph encapsulates both the physical and spiritual strength exhibited by these individuals. As he stands there alone, surrounded by a serene winter landscape, his determination shines through. His face reflects unwavering resolve as he readies himself for what lies ahead – an act that symbolizes purification and renewal within their religious beliefs. Yefimov's lens captures not only the intense cold but also the profound dedication displayed by those who partake in this sacred event. It serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and unwavering faith even amidst extreme circumstances. This remarkable image from Reuters Images reminds us that traditions can transcend time and place while highlighting how deeply rooted spirituality continues to shape lives around the world.
