Epiphany (a Greek word meaning “to reveal”) is the celebration of God being revealed the Christ to the magi from the east, and all the ways that God’s light in manifest in love and mercy among us. It is celebrated on January 6. The Sunday after Epiphany is a celebration of the Baptism of Our Lord, when we share the story of the voice from heaven revealing Jesus to be God’s chosen one. Sundays after the Baptism of Our Lord continue with the theme of ways God’s healing and transforming love are made visible in Jesus’ life, culminating with the story of the Transfiguration on a mountaintop. The length of this season varies depending on the date for Easter Day, this year April 20, which determines the beginning of Lent, Ash Wednesday, March 5.
