Day 27 - NAVAL RSV 421 - Equator - Baptism
Day 27 - NAVAL RSV 421 - Equator - Baptism
Atlantic Ocean, January 22, 2023 - The crew of the Bulgarian military research vessel Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii (NAVAL RSV 421) held a baptism ritual just hours after crossing the equator. In keeping with old tradition, the sailors welcomed Neptune, the god of the sea, and his noble wife Amphitrite while "rulers" were getting seated on "thrones". Each crew member had to go through the difficult main part of the baptism in order to receive Neptune's blessing to continue to travel in his realm.
Each sailor had a "medical checkup" and got a "shave" from a barber before becoming entitled to worm through a lifebelt (an act symbolizing the crossing of the equator) in a strong gush of water, thus earning the privilege to stand in front of the gods. After the trial was passed successfully, Neptune ordered his subjects (dolphins, Nereids, newts) to provide the glorious sailors with assistance whenever necessary.
The ritual evoked a variety of positive emotions in the crew of RSV 421 and bolstered their morale even more on the 27th day of their voyage to Antarctica. BTA Photo/Konstantin Karagyozov
