Wala bang pahabol na pamasko dyan? Happy Epiphany po sa lahat. By the way, sa nagrequest po ng advance line-up sorry po, we cannot do that as you know wala na po kaming sariling gadget after Tino hit our place. As of now sa café, minsan nanghihiram lang kami ng gadget to update. You can search of old post from old admins sa blog na ito makikita naman yan sa right corner ng post na ito. You can search 2023 post if you want advance line-up.
Epiphany is celebrated on the Sunday between January 2 and January 8. The feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord commemorates when Jesus Christ was revealed as the Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew recounts that three wise men from the East visited our savior after his birth and acknowledged him with gifts representing kingship, priesthood, and death.
The Feast of the Epiphany highlights key themes in the story
of Jesus and the visit of the Magi. These themes help us understand the
importance of Jesus’ birth and His mission for all people.
- Jesus
as Light: Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness. He
guides all people to God.
- Universal
Mission: Jesus came for all nations and people. His salvation is
not limited to one group.
- Fulfillment
of Prophecy: Isaiah’s prophecy about light and gifts is fulfilled
in Jesus. The gifts of the Magi show this connection.
- Humility
and Kingship: Jesus is a humble king. He shows true power through
love and gentleness.
- Inclusiveness: Paul
teaches that both Jews and Gentiles share in Jesus’ promises. The Epiphany
shows that everyone is included in God’s plan.
- Guidance
of the Star: The star leads the Magi to Jesus. This shows God’s
guidance to all who seek Him.
- Gift-Giving: The
Magi bring gifts to honor Jesus. This shows recognition of His kingship
and divinity.
- Contrast
with Herod: Herod’s fear and violence contrast with Jesus’ humble
birth. This shows the difference between earthly and heavenly kingship.
These themes remind us of the rich meaning of the Feast of the Epiphany. They invite us to reflect on Jesus’ mission and our role in spreading His light.
