The Feast of the Epiphany
Today is a significant day for Christians - it is the celebration of the Epiphany, a day intended to commemorate the Magi's visit to the baby Jesus, complete with sacred gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. It was one of the first ways that Christ was revealed to the gentiles. While gathering for a large celebration may not be feasible, here are a few ways we can celebrate this day within our families:
- Take a few minutes to recall and reflect on the amazing celestial sight this past December when Jupiter and Saturn aligned to create the "Christmas Star". You could even head outside for some star gazing again tonight! Some astronomers believe that Jupiter or a passing comet could have been the “star” the Magi followed to Christ.
- Bring your children a sweet treat and talk to them about Epiphany and the many ways we are still invited to travel nearer to Christ today.
- Around the dinner table tonight, ask “If we were to bring Christ a precious gift in 2021, what do you think he would most want?”
