Epiphany 2023

 

Why is January 6 called the Epiphany?

Friday, January 6 is Epiphany 2023
'Epiphany' comes from the Greek word meaning 'to reveal', as it is when the baby Jesus was 'revealed' to the world. This is why you might hear people say they've had an epiphany, when they've just realised something. In some countries many families will take off 6 January and exchange presents
For those who thought that Christmas was over, Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th,2023, marks the final celebratory day of the Christian holiday season!


What are the 3 events Epiphany celebrates?

The scope to Epiphany expanded to include the commemoration of his birth; the visit of the magi, all of Jesus' childhood events, up to and including the Baptism by John the Baptist; and even the miracle at the wedding at Cana in Galilee.


How do you celebrate Epiphany?

Thus, Epiphany is the culmination of the Christmas season, not its ending. Recovering three historical Epiphany traditions—baking a Kings' Cake, marking a door lintel with the Magi's blessing, and elaborating worship with lighted candles—can help God's people interpret the Christmas season appropriately.
