Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has congratulated Ukrainians on Epiphany.

“The Bible miracle of water consecration draws attention to the healing
power of water and encourages us to take care of God-given nature. Let
the long-standing evangelical event recall us of the blessed influence
of the sacrament of baptism on human spirituality, and let the water
consecrated on this day make our thoughts pure, help patients recover
and bring good health to all of us,” the head of state said in a message
of congratulations posted on his official Web site on Saturday.
