The
Feast of the EPIPHANY |
|
 |
|
'Epiphany'
means a showing forth of something. Today we celebrate the 'showing' of
the baby, Jesus, to the three Wise Men. They bring him presents of gold,
frankincense and myrrh: gold, a gift fit for a king; frankincense which
is offered to God, because , when it is burned, the smoke rises as if
to Heaven; and myrrh, which is used like a cream on the bodies of those
who have died. We remember that Jesus is our King; he is God's Son; and
our Saviour, who dies on the Cross.
Three boys dressed as kings, or Wise Men, to process back into church.

| We
also remember that the most important 'gift' the Wise Men took to Jesus
was their adoration. We wonder what we would take to him. We wrote our
ideas in the form of letters, which we took to the manger. |

What
can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man
I would do my part;
yet what can I give him-
give my heart.
(Christina Rossetti) |
