A woman and child step out of the Moskva river after bathing
during a ritual baptism ceremony in Moscow January 19, 2007. Orthodox Russians
indulged on Friday in the annual Epiphany tradition of diving into blessed
water, only this year instead of digging a hole into the ice as normally during
Russia's severe winter, bathers shivered in rainy weather as temperatures hit a
seasonal record high. [Reuters]
