Presentation of Christ in the Temple
(Candlemas)
The Epiphany of Christ celebrates three distinct events: the Visit of
the Magi, the Baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan by John and
the third event is the miracle of changing water into wine at the
wedding party in Cana, Galilee.
These three events together form an 'Epiphany' - that is, a
manifestation. They make Jesus known to us, not just as the Son of
Mary, the human baby born at Bethlehem, but also the Christ, the
anointed one, the Messiah promised by God.
The Epiphany celebrates these distinct manifestations of Jesus as
the Christ early in his life and ministry.
Prayer for Epiphanytide
Eternal Lord,
our beginning and our end:
bring us with the whole creation
to your glory, hidden through past ages
and made known
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
