The Lord has shown forth
his glory: Come let us adore him.
Christmas is the manifestation of Jesus to his own people, the Jews, in the people of the shepherds who responded to the angel’s message and came to the creche. Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus to the Gentiles, to all of us, in the form of the 3 sages or wise men who had followed the star for who know how long.... One of my favorite lines in the story is “When they saw that they star has stopped, there were overjoyed.” I guess!
