Catholic Meditation - The Epiphany - Year A

Martin Jumbam

The feast of the Epiphany commemorates the call of the nations to salvation. It is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Saviour of the world. It celebrates the first two occasions on which Jesus’ divinity is manifested to the world: the visit of the three kings from the East, the Magi, and Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The Epiphany is one of the oldest Christian feasts, celebrated since the end of the second century, before the Christmas holiday was established.
