Tradition and fun :

"Godparents races"

"Kumoterki" - in Polish

"At the beginning of February the annual Highlanders' Parade is held in Zakopane and in Bialy Dunajec. It's a big feast for the local highlanders who can present their nicely embellished sleighs and colourful costumes. One of the top attractions of the parade is the kumoterki race of small sleighs drawn by one horse or the skijoring contest."

Frozen Russia

"MOSCOW -- If you're talking wintry weather, this city gets its money's worth. In fact, there is no term in the Russian language for "a white Christmas" because Christmas is white every year all across the gigantic country.

But the Russian capital is now in the midst of a deep freeze the likes of which most city residents have never seen. The mercury dropped to a bone-chilling minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. And it did not get much better when the sun came up, with daytime highs topping out at minus 17F.(...)

Moscow is not alone -- much of Russia, from here to eastern Siberia, is experiencing abnormally cold weather right now -- but Muscovites know it's much, much worse to the east.

Tonight's expected low temperature of around 34 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in the capital would seem absolutely balmy in the Evenkia region of Siberia where residents are enduring a mind-numbing (and every other part of your body for that matter) minus 68 degrees Fahrenheit!"

but....

"Some crossed themselves and said a short prayer before diving into the freezing water, some had a quick splash and then ran to get dressed, and still others swam around, in no hurry to escape the cold.

On Wednesday night and Thursday, Russian Orthodox believers, recreational ice swimmers and publicity-seeking politicians celebrated the Epiphany by dipping into blessed river waters through holes chopped in the ice, undeterred by air temperatures hovering around minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Unconfirmed media reports put the number of bathers at 2,000."

"Russian Orthodox believers walk off the cold after plunging into icy water to mark the Epiphany in Sestroretsk, west of St. Petersburg. The cold snap gripping Russia coincided with the holiday, but many kept up the annual ritual of jumping into holes cut into thick ice on rivers and ponds to cleanse themselves with water deemed holy for the day. The tradition imitates the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan."

"Yulia Petrova went into the water carrying her 7-year-old daughter Pelageya in her arms, dipped her under, and then dipped herself. Pelageya emerged seemingly unperturbed. Petrova said she took Pelageya into the icy water every Epiphany."
