Epiphany of Our Lord, 2012

Friday 6 January 2011

7:30 am Low Mass
7:30 pm Solemn High Mass
A Holy Hour will follow the Mass, with Benediction at 10 pm.

The visit of the Magi

The Solemnity of the Epiphany commemorates three manifestations (Greek: epiphaneia) of the Divinity of Christ to man: to the Magi in Bethlehem, following His birth; to Saint John the Baptist at His Baptism; and to the Jews with His first public miracle at the wedding feast in Cana. All three of these manifestations are referenced in the Mass readings and divine office of the Church on this day, although the visit of the Magi is the major focus for Latin Catholics. In the Eastern Churches, where the feast is called the Theophany—‘divine manifestation’’—, the focus is on the revelation of Our Lord as the Messiah and Second Person of the Trinity at the time of His baptism.
