Epiphany Sunday, January 6th
Known as Three Kings Day or Little Christmas celebrates the revelation of God to man and the presence of God in human history. We read that the kings brought gifts to the infant in the stable of gold, frankincense, and myrrh;
symbols of power, deity and death. Mary and Joseph may well have used these gifts to help them escape from Herod’s search to find and kill this infant rumored to be the newborn king. Herod wanted no challenges to his throne.
On January 6th, at St. Paul’s you will see kings and queens processing to offer gifts of a different kind. They bring gifts of diapers, baby food and warm blankets which will be locally donated. As a star led the wise men to the baby, we must be open to all the ways the Spirit leads people to Jesus Christ.
