Water of Terek River to be blessed for Baptism

The water of the Terek River will be blessed for Orthodox Christians on the night of January 18-19, Baptism Day. The Church of St. George the Victor will hold a liturgy at midnight, followed by a sacred procession with the hallows of St. George the Victor at Terek under the supervision of Archbishop Zosima of Vladikavkaz and Alania, Yuga.ru reports.

North Ossetia revived the pre-revolutionary tradition of blessing the water of the Terek in 2012.
