Wise men bringing gifts to baby Jesus

Epiphany Sunday

Epiphany, like Christmas, always has the same calendar date. Falling on January 6, Epiphany concludes the season of Christmas or the twelve days of Christmas and doesn’t necessarily fall on a Sunday. Some traditions or denominations mark the season of Epiphany which lasts until the beginning of Lent. Baptism of Our Lord Sunday also occurs in the season of Epiphany. 

Epiphany provides an opportunity for the church to focus on the journey of the Magi to see Jesus, a journey that in all reality took two years (not twelve days). The story of the Magi reminds us that Jesus came as a light for all nations, a king who stands in contrast to the rulers of the world, and an answer to the multi-generational waiting for redemption. Afterall, the incarnation of Jesus Christ involves far more than Christmas—it encompasses the whole vision of bringing God’s glory to the nations of the world.
