THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR - EPIPHANY
Have you ever wondered why the pulpit cloth changes colours and has different symbols on it each time it is changed? Do the words “Advent”, “Epiphany” and “Kingdomtime” mean anything to you?
The Liturgical or Church Year is broken into seasons, starting from Advent and ending with Kingdomtide. It is a traditional way to remember and observe the various aspects of the life of Christ and His Church that has been used since the early days of Christianity. Each season has its own colour and symbols that serve as visual mnemonics.
The season of Epiphany in the Church Calendar follows after Christmastide. Epiphany, meaning “revelation” or “manifested”, refers to the revelation of the Christ to the Gentiles as symbolised by the Magi, and, therefore, to all the peoples of the Earth. Epiphany focuses on Jesus’ early life, His baptism, and the wedding feast at Cana. The themes are on renewal and missions. The season’s colour is green, the symbol of growth, spring and new life. Epiphany is from 6 January to Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
We begin a perpetual 2-Year Bible Reading Plan on 1 January 2023.
