EPIPHANY
The feast of Epiphany (“manifestation”) concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. We celebrate this on the Sunday before January 6 as we observe the arrival of the three magi, the revelation of Christ to all nations and the new year. We ask for God’s blessing on the church and all who enter by chalking the door to the sanctuary with the year, the initials of the wise men and crosses.
The Time after Epiphany, which is relatively long this year is a season which begins with the Baptism of our Lord on January 12 and ends on March 2, the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, with His Transfiguration. The gospel stories in this season in the year of Luke, of the three-year cycle, emphasize the universal nature of Christ’s mission. Jesus is revealed as the Savior not just for the Israelites but for all people. In this season, we are reminded that the light of Christ is for everyone, regardless of where we come from or what our past may be.
As we step into this new year, may we, like the Magi, seek the light of Christ in our lives, and may we reflect that light to the world around us so that, together, we may experience the fullness of God’s love and grace. Blessings in the season of Epiphany as we walk in the light of Christ.
