Liturgical Seasons

We are presently in the season of Epiphany. Epiphany is a season from January 6 to Shrove Tuesday ('Mardi Gras' & the day before Ash Wednesday - February 18). During this time, the church considers all the ways God reveals Godself to the world. First, the magi come to recognize Jesus as the "King of the Jews." Second, we celebrate the baptism of Jesus, at which God says, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Each Sunday in Epiphany the lessons point to ways God has revealed God's presence or divine will to God's people and servants. The last Sunday celebrates the "Transfiguration of Jesus" where his appearance became radiant light, and he was seen speaking to Moses and Elijah.
