Happy Epiphany!

[PaladinValer]

To all here, a most blessed and holy Epiphany today to all of you.

He has manifested himself to the Gentiles, humbling giving Him homage and gifts.
Let us then give him homage and gifts of ourselves: in praise, thanksgiving, and fidel living faith now and for ever. Amen.

We call it Theophany, but whatever, it's the same joyous celebration of Christ's baptism!! Our bishop came down and celebrated with us. It was wonderful!

Actually, it's not the same. I'd love to know how the differences between Epiphany and Theophany came about. Epiphany celebrates the visit of the Magi to the young Child Jesus, thereby revealing salvation to the Gentiles (whole world). Theophany celebrates the Baptism of Jesus Christ, thereby revealing God as Holy Trinity.

But Blessed Feast Day to whichever you are celebrating!

You're right, Mary. I was looking up news stories today, and one was describing about Epiphany. Sorry for the error, PV! Happy Epiphany to you!
