    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 24, 2024
     | 473 views

    Epiphany - A Bright Idea

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Dec 26, 2024

     | 608 views

    An examination of epiphany through the visit of the magi to the toddler Jesus. Their gifts stimulate us to living out our Christian lives in this new year by living holy lives that glorify God.

    The earliest reference to Epiphany as a Christian feast was in AD 361, by Ammianus Marcellinus. The holiday is listed twice, which suggests a double feast of baptism and birth. The baptism of Jesus was originally assigned to the same date as the birth because Luke 3:23 was read to mean that Jesus ...read more
