Epiphany

Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th commemorates the visit of the Magi, the Wise Men from the East, to the Christ Child. This feast is also known as the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.

The number of Sundays in Epiphany depends on the date of Easter. There can be between one and six Sundays before Septuagesima Sunday. White is the liturgical color for the day and green for the rest of the season.

[Jesus said] Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. ~Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
