http://news.bbc.co.uk/Scroll to the left middle of the page for the video of Ukraine President Yushchenko taking a Holy Day dip in the icy cold waters...and notice at the end of the video that religious participation in former Soviet countries is not just for babushkas anymore! LOL! Alice 6:33PM update: It doesn't seem to be on the site any more. sorry.

I've often wondered about the sturdiness of people who can jump into ice water in the winter. Reminds me of the "polar bear" clubs where people run from a steam bath and jump into an icy river. I think my heart would stop from the shock of the cold water.
