Orthodox Theophany (Vadokhryshcha), January 19. Вадохрышча.
At the end of the service of Vadokhryshcha, the Orthodox equivalent of Western Christian Epiphany, parishioners who have not brought their own water fill containers from the barrels which the priest has blessed during the service. People use the water to protect their homes; the local priest will also go through the village to bless homes and barns with holy water and to draw a cross on the door as a sign of protection.
