On Epiphany, Orthodox believers swim for the Holy Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Epiphany is the day when Jesus Christ was baptized in the River Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time, the Holy Trinity was manifested \u2013 in the voice of God from heaven who said, \u201cThis is My Son,\u201d in the baptism of the Son of God in the river, and in the Holy Spirit who descended upon Christ in the form of a dove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many folk customs and beliefs are associated with Epiphany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0mhUd2hnPNfFtap2R3hvN5oz4br1sDHZ1jGSCe8wMeypSXow2nz5C7tATgqanuf1il&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this day, water is blessed, which is taken home and drunk for health and the enlightenment of soul and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is considered healing and a protection against unclean forces and is kept in homes until the next great blessing of water. Epiphany water never spoils, because, Christianity teaches, the power of the Holy Spirit dwells in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, people greet each other with the words: \u201cGod has appeared\u201d or \u201cChrist has appeared,\u201d and reply with \u201cTruly He has appeared.\u201d According to the traditional calendar, days suitable for weddings begin today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Epiphany, there is never any fasting, regardless of the day on which it falls. With this day, the so-called \u201cunbaptized days,\u201d which began on Christmas, also come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swimming for the Holy Cross and retrieving the cross from rivers and lakes is a revived custom that is observed in many parts of Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/humanost-na-delu-studenti-u-blokadi-subotice-prikupili-pomoc-za-13-ugrozenih-porodica-foto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HUMANITY IN ACTION: Students in the blockade of Subotica collected aid for 13 vulnerable families!
