Third Advent Sunday: Joy

Don’t forgot January 6th: The feast of the Epiphany commemorates the arrival of the magi (sometimes referred to as Three Kings or Wise Men) to visit Infant Jesus.

It is a special date for many Christians as it’s when people celebrate how a star led the Magi – also known as the Three kings or the Wise Men – to visit the baby Jesus after he had been born. ‘Epiphany’ comes from the Greek word meaning ‘to reveal’, as it is when the baby Jesus was ‘revealed’ to the world.

Example: YHWH appeared Adam, ……, Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, ….., Moses, …..David, ….. in Old Testament (Old Covenant).

The USCCB describes the Epiphany simply by saying it “marks the arrival of visitors, identified in Scripture as the magi, to the place where Jesus was born.” The word itself means “divine revelation.”

Matthew 2:10 They [Magi three wise men: Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar] were overjoyed at seeing the star 🙏📿🕯️
