Since it's only been 10 days) January 19-Holy Theophany of our Lord Jesus Christ, and my whole life I saw how other religious people in my country fall with a prayer in the cold water of the river (at this time in my country is cold and often even cut through the ice to reach the water and dive in cold water.
I've always wanted to plunge into the pond that day, when all the water on earth is sanctified. I was always scared a bad cold. This year 19 January, I was in Turkey on the Mediterranean coast, where we rested with friends, and realized that this is my chance!
The air in our village was 12 degrees Celsius and the sea water 18! This was my chance and I decided to use it :-)
We took a warm blanket, warm clothes, towel, and went to a deserted beach where sea and sky almost connected in a blue haze. )
I slowly walked into the water, which seemed warm, but when diving-it was burning like talk)))) at the same time, this current seemed to give me strength and inspiration!
It was an indescribable feeling! "Electricity" throughout the body and excitement inside! Swam a bit in the sea and returned to shore.
I did what I dreamed! And I want to share this joy with you!
and then we went to drink warm tea.
My friend Kate caught my immersion)))
