Epiphany Day, the concluding 12th day of Christmas on the church calendar is always celebrated on January 6. To help congregations celebrate Epiphany for Sunday worship, churches tend to do so on the Sunday prior to January 6.In addition to being the last day of the Christmas season, Epiphany, which means "manifestation" is assosiated with the visitation of the Magi (Wise Men) who came to Bethlehem and offered gifts to the Christ Child.
Collect of the Day: The Epiphany
O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the Peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
