Today is the

Epiphany of the Lord

Today the Church cele-

brates the Solemnity of the

Epiphany. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is

his, and government and

power." With these words

the Church proclaims that

today's feast brings to a perfect fulfillment all the purposes of

Advent. Epiphany, therefore, marks the liturgical zenith of the

Advent-Christmas season. — Pius Parsch

The Solemnity of the Epiphany is celebrated either on January

6 or, according to the decision of the episcopal conference, on

the Sunday between January 2 and January 8. The young Messi-

ah is revealed as the light of the nations. Yet, as the antiphon for the Magnificat at Second Vespers reminds us, three mysteries

are encompassed in this solemnity: the adoration of the Christ

Child by the Magi, the Baptism of Christ and the wedding feast

at Cana. Extra candles and/or lamps may be placed around the

sanctuary and in other parts of the church to honor Christ re-

vealed as the Light of the Gentiles (Ceremonial of Bishops). It is

customary to replace the images of the shepherds at the crib with

the three Magi and their gifts. — Ceremonies of the Liturgical

Year, Msgr. Peter J. Elliott, Ignatius Press.

The feast of the Epiphany, which was kept in the East and in

certain Western Churches before being observed in Rome, seems to have been originally a feast of the nativity; January 6, for

those churches where it was kept, was the equivalent of Christ-

mas (December 25) in the Roman Church. The feast was intro-

duced at Rome in the second half of the sixth century and be-

came the complement and, so to say, the crown of the Christmas

festival.

Epiphany means manifestation. What the Church celebrates to-

day is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; after

being made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem He is revealed

to the Magi who have come from the East to adore Him. Chris-

tian tradition has ever seen in the Magi the first fruits of the Gen-tiles; they lead in their wake all the peoples of the earth, and thus

the Epiphany is an affirmation of universal salvation. St. Leo

brings out this point admirably in a sermon, read at Matins, in

which he shows in the adoration of the Magi the beginnings of

Christian faith, the time when the great mass of the heathen sets

off to follow the star which summons it to seek its Saviour.

That is the meaning, too, of the wonderful prophecy from Isaias

which the liturgy appoints to be read in the first nocturn at Mat-

ins and at the Epistle of the Mass. This same thought of universal

redemption the Church returns to as she sings, in the antiphon to

the Magnificat at 2nd Vespers, applying the words to herself, of the union with Christ typified by the wedding feast at Cana, by

the baptism of her children foreshadowed by that of Christ in the

waters of the Jordan. Formerly the Epiphany was an additional

day for solemn baptisms.
