The Epiphany of the Lord


REFLECTION

 

‘The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as the Messiah of Israel. Son of God and Saviour of the world. This great feast celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the East, together with his baptism in the Jordan and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee. In the magi, representatives of the neighbouring pagan religions, the Gospel sees the first-fruits of the nations, who welcome the good news of salvation through the Incarnation.’
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 528).
