Current Liturgical Season: Epiphany
We are currently
in the Liturgical season of Epiphany. Epiphany runs from the 12th day
of Christmas (January 6th) until Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent
on February 22, 2012.
The Season After
Epiphany or Epiphany Season begins right after Epiphany Day and goes to
Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent begins. The length of the
Epiphany Season varies due to the movement of the date of Easter each
year. The word Epiphany means “to show forth” or “manifestation.” The
season of Epiphany focuses on God’s light spreading through the
teaching and healing ministry of Jesus. God’s love and will are being
manifest in the life of Jesus. The first Sunday of this season is the
“Baptism of Our Lord” Sunday which is January 8th. The color of
both the first Sunday of the Epiphany Season and the last Sunday (The
Feast of the Transfiguration) is white. The rest of the season is
green, symbolizing the growth of God’s realm.
Baptisms,
Weddings and Funeral / Memorial Services
The Church and
its' Clergy are available for these milestone events.
