    The God was humanized and appeared before people. `And the Holy Ghost
    descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came
    from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well
    pleased (Luke 3:22; Matt 3:17; Mark 1:11).'

    Saint Liturgy is served on Friday morning then Jesus' baptism is held.
    Jesus blessed the water by his baptism. Server of the liturgy drops
    chrism into the water. According to the tradition, people take the
    blessed water to homes as a treatment for the illnesses. Later the
    priests visit homes and bless the believers.
