Yesterday and the day before in European time was Christmas based on the Orthodox Julian calendar.
In Orthodox regions like Greece, Russia, Ukraine, and Romania, there's a tradition of Epiphany New Year plunges where people break the river ice and dive in bare-bodied for a baptism.
Apparently, wearing thick clothes in the middle of a frozen river with heavy winds is dangerous because the wet clothes suck out your body heat, so they actually wear more revealing stuff instead.
Thanks for checking out my crude post..!
