Tragedy struck in Vyra, Russia, as 40-year-old lawyer and mother-of-two Anna Uskova lost her life during an Orthodox Epiphany ritual. Celebrating the occasion, Anna jumped into an ice hole in the frozen Oredezh River near St Petersburg. Despite her husband Yuri's immediate attempt to rescue her, Anna vanished in the strong current. The distressing incident was captured in a video, showing the mother crossing herself before plunging into the icy water. The Orthodox Epiphany tradition involves believers jumping into blessed water to commemorate Jesus's baptism, and Anna embraced this ritual despite freezing temperatures. Golden Waterspout on Russia’s Kama River Gets Captured on Camera, Video of Rare Meteorological Phenomenon Captivates Internet.
