Click Jordan
The rattlesnake jumped
Cool Jordan,
And the voice is mighty
Hurricane river
Sends Daleks to the edges:
“Get ready, children, here;
Gather together, channels and currents,
Water comes from the mountains and foothills;
Springs and streams from everywhere, -
Valleys, plains
Having left - into my arms,
Fly to a great miracle...
An unheard-of guest is coming to us.
We, the whole family, are Jordanian waters,
Let's greet and meet the Power of Nature:
He brings joy and sweetness with Him,
He new soul will introduce you to nature!”...
Has anyone heard, from years and centuries,
So that He... is the driver of heavenly waters and clouds,
Did he descend into the dust of the earth and take on the form of slaves?!
And now, the bearer of other people’s sins,
He will bow his sovereign head,
And He will ask His river for ablution!!.
The example of this world is incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible humility!..
Fly and caress
To the sacred feet:
Rise up, run away,
Behold He Himself comes!..
And He went down to the stream of Jordan,
And bowed his sovereign head
Under the hand of baptizing John;
And a wonderful thing happened in the heights:
Mysteriously, at the very depths,
The sapphire sky suddenly dissolved;
And the light flashed like a glow,
And, - under the crystal, distant blue,
A white dove appeared... of light,
And, over the head of the dear Krestimago,
He swam in the light blue moisture...
And something sounded like a trumpet,
Like the mighty voice of a giant;
And for the first time, in a great moment of miracles,
The earth heard from the lips of heaven
Great, the holy name of the Son!..
Glinka Fedor Nikolaevich
(1786 -1880)
At the Epiphany of the Lord
I am baptized to You, Lord! in Jordan,
Yes, in the holy water and bath of the Spirit
You will wash your nature from the sin of words,
The revered Deity appeared in three Persons:
The invisible Father, He is the Cause of all things,
He proclaimed You, beloved Son;
And in the form of a dove, an example of purity,
The Spirit of God has flown down on You from on high,
The falsity of the Father's words was confirmed.
You are to the world in a cloud of bodily cover
The Holy Light has appeared! dispelled the sinful darkness,
And by faith the bright world speaks Your praise.
You came to a voice thundering in the desert:
“Prepare for the Most High the path of truth and holiness!”
Bridegroom of verbal souls! to the friend of the Groom,
Asking for baptism without committing sin,
Having assumed a slavish appearance, Lord of all nature!
They saw You and were afraid of the water;
And the man sent by the Creator cried tremblingly,
Husband-angel, before Your face precede:
How can Light illuminate an inconspicuous lamp?
How can a poor servant lay his hand on the King?
You take away the sin of the world, save the mortal race,
Holy! You sanctify me and the abyss of waters.
Shirinsky-Shikhmatov Sergei Alexandrovich (1783-1837)

Epiphany
I.
Among the desert sands of Jordan,
Where rows of gloomy rocks rise,
Where the hungry wolf and the jackal roam,
The speech of Saint Joan sounded,
Like a call to people's repentance,
Crowds of people are like the waves of the sea,
Flocked to the Forerunner's hideout
And listened to prophetic speeches
Hermit. Exhausted from fasting,
Eating locusts and honey
And clothed in a harsh hair shirt,
The Holy Prophet appeared before the people
And in fiery, scourging words
He taught him and convicted him of his sins.
When I chose it as a symbol of purification,
In the waters of the Kreshchenye River -
Having believed in his teaching,
Many came to be baptized by him.
He heralded the coming of Him
Whose shoe strap is His?
He was not worthy to be cut to pieces.
He spoke to those gathered about the One
Who created the Baptism of Fire
And by the Holy Spirit, about Him who is Infallible,
Who will gather the wheat into the granary?
With a shovel, he will burn the straw
He is on His unquenchable fire.
II.
And so, when thirty years have passed
To the Savior, leaving Nazareth,
To this sermon and Epiphany,
Toward stern and pure learning
He came too.
The prophet did not know Christ
But she was so sinless and pure
Holy beauty of the Savior,
And there was something so lofty in Him
And the light that struck the soul
The hermit with his greatness,
When Christ appeared before him
On the banks of the blooming Jordan!
John was overcome by love and fear,
And he, who was inexorable to sin,
The Holy Prophet who threw accusations
in the face of the kings, overcome with embarrassment,
I suddenly felt insignificant
Before Jesus. I need it from you
I should be baptized, O Lord, and are you
Came to me? - they repeated in excitement
His mouth, his humble appearance.
But the Savior answered complacently:
- Leave it now, that’s not how it should be.
We must fulfill the truth! - And obediently
He fulfilled the Lord's command.
When did the Savior emerge from the waves?
The vault of heaven opened in radiance,
And gold in blue azure
The Holy Spirit descended from heaven above Him,
And a wonderful voice was heard from above:
- This is My beloved Son, on Him
My favor rests! –
And John understood: it was a revelation,
And He bowed before the Lord Christ!

Epiphany night
Dark spruce forest with snow like fur,
Gray frosts have descended,
In sparkles of frost, like in diamonds,
We dozed off, leaning over the birch trees.
Their branches froze motionless,
And between them on the snowy bosom,
As if through lace silver,
The full month looks down from the sky.
He rose high above the forest,
In its bright light, numb,
And the shadows creep strangely,
In the snow under the branches turning black.
The bowls of the forest were covered with a blizzard, -
Only traces and paths wind,
Running between the pines and fir trees,
Between the birch trees to the dilapidated gatehouse.
The gray blizzard lulled me to sleep
The forest is deserted by a wild song,
And he fell asleep, covered in a blizzard,
All through, motionless and white.
Mysteriously slender thickets sleep,
They sleep, dressed in deep snow,
And glades, and meadows, and ravines,
Where streams once roared.
Silence - not even a branch will crunch!
And maybe beyond this ravine
A wolf makes his way through the snowdrifts
With a cautious and insinuating step.
Silence - maybe he’s close...
And I stand, filled with anxiety,
And I look intensely at the thicket,
On tracks and bushes along the road.
In the distant thickets, where the branches are like shadows
In the moonlight patterns are woven,
Everything seems to me like something alive,
It's like animals are running by.
Light from the forest guardhouse
It flickers cautiously and timidly,
It's like he's lurking under the forest
And waits for something in the silence.
A diamond radiant and bright,
Playing green and blue,
In the east, at the throne of God,
The star shines quietly, as if alive.
And above the forest higher and higher
The month rises, and in wondrous peace
Frosty midnight freezes
And the crystal forest kingdom!

Epiphany
Jesus bowed his head
He stepped into the water up to his waist,
The spirit descended like a dove,
A voice from heaven cried:
Here is my Son, my joy,
It was given to you by grace”...
And he raised his right hand over him
Delighted John!..

On the Jordan
Under the sultry sky of Palestine
The holy Jordan is beautiful,
When the fog rises
From the quietly slumbering plain
And into the crystal swell, tender,
The southern moon will look.
The waters of the Jordan are enchanting
Your world shrine,
Received Baptism over Himself
In them is Jesus from John.
The sky has opened its palace,
And the Triune God is revealed.

Voice in the wilderness
The commandment of all to repentance,
He says: "Christ is coming,
Prepare his way now.”
A crowd of countless people,
Hearing the voice of John,
Heading to the banks of the Jordan
Receive Baptism in the bosom of the waters.
And he sees from the bright clouds,
Descending in the guise of a dove,
The Lord's life-giving Spirit,
And the voice of the Creator of worlds is heard,
To which mysteries are explained
The Lord gives to the Universe:
“This is my beloved Son,
My pleasure rests on Him.”
Praise be to You, O mighty God!
Our merciful Redeemer!
You are again a heavenly abode
He opened it to us unworthy!
Oh, let us leave the cradle
We walked your paths to the grave,
Oh, give us fonts of water
To be a Jordanian stream!

Poems with the Baptism of the Lord
The long-awaited day of Epiphany!
We look forward to forgiveness!
Your sins will be taken away
Just ask hard!
It is important to pray very much
And wash yourself with holy water!
This is how the soul is cleansed.
Life will become easy and good!
Come to Epiphany:
There will be refreshments in the house
And we'll give you some holy water
In honor of the holiday, you should wash your face
And we’ll pour some more with us,
So that your home becomes clean,
Holy salt for the images -
May you live richly.
On a frosty day at Epiphany
You accept the invitation:
Come to a warm house
Let's have tea with pies!
Day of the Covenant (Baptismal Verses)
The path of faith is intended for you,
The day of the covenant is the beginning of the journey,
Good luck
Both in great matters and in small things.
And so that with the light of the radiant heavens
Your road is illuminated
With a thirsty heart, with a pure heart
You seek close intimacy with God.
If the wind raises waves,
He is powerful to calm the sea,
Trust Him, be calm,
He is with you in sorrow and grief.
Good luck
In a kind word and in the right deed.
If your path has begun with the Lord,
This means you are heading towards the right goal!
Walking on the Earth January
I woke up to Epiphany frosts.
A lantern on a pole that has gone out
He held icicles-tears with glass.
A mighty echo of snow crunch
Scares the pigeons on the roof.
Tiredly throwing off the load of snow,
Frost is writing something on the windows.
And the bustling people
Prepares a treat at home.
The old New Year is leaving,
Comes - Lord's Epiphany.
Christ, John the Baptist,
Baptized in the Holy Jordan.
Since then, to those sacred places
A priest and a layman are traveling.
And with early years their children
We lead to the Sacrament of Baptism:
So that the Lord will turn on the Light for them
And he gave cleansing from filth.
Day of the Lord's Baptism -
It's a celebration of dedication
This is a great mystery
Very good, holy!
The baptized have a guardian -
Angel - God's Deputy
He helps people
Protects our sensitive sleep,
He saves you from harm
Gives us joy and happiness!
God bless
On this bright holiday - the day of baptism!
(Kolesnik Olga)
I hasten to congratulate you on your Epiphany
And wish you purity
All thoughts and all aspirations,
Health, happiness and love!
May the Angels protect you
And guard your sound sleep
Let loved ones not know grief
And the Lord will be nearby!
Baptism
The dawn has risen over the Jordan,
The wave lay on the sand,
From the surrounding places behind John
A stream of people was rushing towards the river.
The people were in a hurry to hear the word.
For so many years the Lord was silent.
But now the voice of God is again
Sounded through the prophet.
He was not the light, but he walked before the Light
Correct the Lord's ways.
His kind in this world,
Perhaps it was impossible to find.
Herald of the True God,
He came in the spirit of Elijah,
So that everyone who has lost their way
They were able to find a heavenly home.
Not a reed shaken by the storm,
Not a king living in a palace,
Not a prince, but a husband in camel's clothing
Tells people about the Creator.
And if the heart is like granite,
Let the stones break now,
On this day it sounds for those who suffer
Voice in the wilderness.
But suddenly the prophet’s speech fell silent,
The messenger of heaven became timid,
Before me the Son of God,
John saw the Messiah.
And a chill ran through my skin,
The people became worried:
“Behold, behold, the Lamb of God,
What takes sins upon itself.”
And for the truth to come true,
Christ bowed his knees,
And the body disappeared into the Jordan,
The Forerunner of the Lord baptized.
And immediately the Spirit in bodily form
Descended upon Jesus
I saw a white dove
Prophet is pretty good,
And a voice from heaven burst out like thunder
And he penetrated everything:
“Behold my beloved Son, in whom
My favor."
At Jordan there is One God
He showed his greatness
In the Father, in the Holy Spirit, in the Son
God spoke to our souls.
A different society today
The world was rebuilt a long time ago,
But the day of the baptism of the Lord
Christians remember anyway.
From the days of the baptist until now
We take the Kingdom by force,
In sins, wandering through the desert,
We can only find forgiveness in God.
And for the truth to come true,
By faith we baptize the saints,
So that life is transformed by the Spirit,
So that faith in them increases.
When we are baptized, we make a promise:
It is holy to live in the light of the Word
And to God, in happiness or suffering,
Only serve in good conscience.
Friends! May love and forgiveness live in the heart of every person on this Holy Day! Let holy water wash away the burden of hardships, illnesses and adversities! May God give you the strength to keep your heart pure and your soul open in this difficult world, and we wish you many new happy days in the coming year! We wish
You, so that on this day your home will be open to friends and family, and
everyone found a place at the festive table and a kind word!
May good things come to you
The worries in my soul will subside...
Build your temple in your hearts,
Let it be erected in love!
The soul will find peace and warmth
At the white stone apse.
And suddenly it will become easy, light,
Rebellious grievances will go away!
Snow is swirling outside the window.
Whirling through the courtyards of blizzards.
It's time running again.
It's a holiday again - Epiphany.
The silence in the night is weightless.
And there are paintings on the walls.
In an unfinished glass of wine
The scents of love are mixed.
We will be happy now and in the future.
Let's be joyful, let's be trusting.
After all, it is given to you and me to grow younger
In this world, beautiful, changeable.
Congratulations on your baptism,
And we wish you from the bottom of our hearts!
So that Epiphany frosts,
They brought joy to your home!
So that with holy water,
Past sins have been washed away!
May the Lord give you mercy,
Throughout life's journey!
The great one is coming Orthodox holiday- Baptism of the Lord, or Epiphany.
The holiday is called Epiphany because at the Baptism of Jesus Christ, God the Trinity was revealed to the world, as evidenced by all four Gospels. God the Father announced the Son, the Son was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, and the Holy Spirit descended on the Son in the form of a dove.
The baptism of Jesus Christ is understood in Orthodoxy as the beginning of the salvation of people from sins. It brought enlightenment, renewal of human nature, light, healing and new birth to the world. This holiday marked the beginning of the well-known Christian sacrament - Baptism.
Besides, this event served as the beginning of the well-established tradition in Rus' of immersing in an ice hole - “Jordan”. In the last two decades, this tradition has gained a new breath, and currently has a wide scope. Many people come to specially made ice holes on this day: some for diving, others for fun. And although a significant part of those who come are far from faith, for people joining even this custom seems special, significant in life.
We invite Poembuka poets to submit their poems to the competition "Feast of the Epiphany."
The verses should touch upon the theme of the feast of Epiphany: predominantly offer verses that illustrate the corresponding text of the Gospel. It is possible to offer texts related to the church tradition of blessing water for Epiphany, or immersion in the “Jordan” on Epiphany days - a good attitude towards the Orthodox tradition, as well as consistency of stylistic features: rhyme, meter, etc. are important. Descriptions of fortune telling and banter are unacceptable. Try to keep your pieces not too long (no more than 32 lines).
As an example, I will give the poem “Christmas Eve of Epiphany”.
Desert heat. Silence of Palestine
Quiet before the appearance of Christ.
Sadness of the soul. Breath of routine,
And in it there is futility of seeking God.
The spirit is silent, the flesh is transformed
Striving to achieve in a desperate struggle
With passionate desires, although
He carries their heavy load within himself.
Did not deliver from corruption and death
The law that was given by God at Sinai.
The hour of salvation will come - believe me:
Blessed John came.
Pierces inquisitively and humbly
Movements of the prophet's hearts:
“Soul, repent! Sorrowful, but imperishable
You are in the Lord. Sweep away the rubbish of vices."
So the publican shed tears for a moment:
Falling at the feet of the prophet of God,
Called to the One who gives incorruptibility
And heals souls, trampling death.
The thief mourns, the harlot repents,
Humbly plunging into the Jordan.
Only the Pharisees have glossy faces
They take him back - they are afraid of John.
But the water element washes
The groan of grief and despair is decaying -
And the Messiah gives joy of spirit,
What is desired by a broken heart.
The Great Preacher of Repentance
Leads to the knowledge of sinfulness,
Blessing the holiness of the deed...
Behind him, the sin of the world will take away.
Both previously written works and new texts are accepted, dedicated to the holiday Baptism.
Good luck to all participants!
January a gift in store
Christian people.
Happy Baptism of the Lord to you!
Let's bless the water!
We are waiting for miracles again today,
For the holiday, for Epiphany!
And the Holy Spirit will descend from heaven,
He will grant forgiveness to everyone.
He will fly off in the form of a dove,
Carrying love everywhere
And may he bless you,
Directing your wing towards a miracle!
On this day the heavens are open to us,
This only happens once a year...
On the day washed with holy water,
On the day of Epiphany prayers instantly
They will fly high to the heavens.
Blessed day of Epiphany
Let us give thanks to Christ!
Joy comes and the feast of Epiphany
Reminds me of eternal goodness.
Don't let the feeling leave you,
That this is the best day in January.
I wish you happiness and good luck,
Don't worry about trifles,
Fairytale life, soul renewal,
Understand your loved ones as well as yourself!
I wish you to live amicably and peacefully,
To love family and friends sincerely,
Help those who ask unselfishly
And quickly overcome all illnesses!
