WHAT IS THE FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY ABOUT?WHAT IS THE FEAST OF THE
EPIPHANY ABOUT?WHAT IS THE FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY ABOUT?WHAT IS THE
FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY ABOUT? According to the Catechism of the
Catholic Church #528: The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus
manifestation of Jesus manifestation of Jesus manifestation of
Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Saviour of the world.
the great feast of Epiphany celebrates the adoration of Jesus by
the wise men (magi) from the East, together with his baptism in the
Jordan and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee.
In the magi, representatives of the neighbouring pagan
religions, the Gospel sees the first-fruits of the nations, who
welcome the good news of salvation through the Incarnation. The
magi's coming to Je-rusalem in order to pay homage to the king of
the Jews shows that they seek in Israel, in the messi-anic light of
the star of David, the one who will be king of the nations.
Their coming means that pagans can discover Jesus and worship
him as Son of God and Saviour of the world only by turning towards
the Jews and receiving from them the messianic promise as
con-tained in the Old Testament. The Epiphany shows that “the full
number of the nations” now takes its “place in the family of the
patriarchs”, and acquires Israelitica dignitas (is made “worthy of
the heri-tage of Israel”).

St. Paul in his Letter to the Philip-pians wrote, “So that at
Jesus’ name every knee must bend in the heavens, on the earth and
under the earth, and every tongue pro-claim to the glory of God the
Fa-ther: Jesus Christ is Lord” (2:10-11). Just as a name gives
identity to a person and also reflects a person’s life, the name of
Jesus reminds the hearer of who Jesus is and what He has done for
us. Keep in mind that the name Jesus means “Yahweh saves” or
“Yahweh is salvation.”
It’s a shame that the lovable name of Jesus, so pow-erful and
salvific, is so often invoked in vain or in
blasphemy. To more greatly honour the name of Je-To more greatly
honour the name of Je-To more greatly honour the name of Je-To more
greatly honour the name of Je-sus, ensure that you and your family
avoid making sus, ensure that you and your family avoid making sus,

Like the Magi, may we also journey and be attentive, untiring
and coura-geous on the path to find the invisible
God who was born among us.
