Today the heavenly joins the earthly in celebration, and that which is below holds discourse with that which is above. The “Epiphany” or baptism of Jesus is recorded in all four gospels: Matthew 3, Mark 1:1-9, Luke 3:21-22, and John 1:31-34. Epiphany is among the most important religious holidays in the Orthodox ecclesial calendar. Along with the Nativity (Christmas) and Pascha (Easter) Epiphany ranks among the most popularly celebrated Christian feast around the world. Commemorating the Baptism of Christ -Epiphany is recorded early in Christendom: the second century by Clement of Alexandria, Ammianus Marcellinus and Epiphanius of Salamis in the 4th century. John Chrysostom and Gregory the Theologian refer to this event as the Theophany "Feast of Lights."  |
