By Vladimir Korol: The church does not urge to do ice diving as part of Epiphany celebrations but at the same time does not condemn this ritual, considering it a local tradition. Ice diving is officially allowed at 8 rescue stations in Minsk, such as Komsomolskoe Lake, Minsk Sea, Tsnyanka, Drozdy, Krinitsa, Ptich and Vyacha Reservoirs. The ice diving sites are supervised by medical experts and rescuers and are available till 22:00 today and from 09:00 to 19:00 tomorrow.
