SUMMARY:Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS IT?\nAn “epiphany” refers to a revelation\, and the season marks the shift in emphasis from the birth of Jesus to the revelation of his ministry to the world. Epiphany brings together the three strands of Jesus’ birth (the adoration of the wise men)\, baptism (at the Jordan)\, and ministry(turning purification water into wine at the wedding at Cana). \nWHY DO WE CELEBRATE IT?\nEpiphany is about God making all things new. We celebrate that the Gospel is not just for Israel but all the world. We remember that as the new people of God we share in the one baptism of Jesus. We rejoice that God is doing a new work through fulfilling the old covenant. \nWHY THE WISE MEN (MAGI)?\nThe wise men represent the world coming to worship at the feet of Jesus. Scripture is silent as to their actual number\, but the three gifts gave rise to the tradition that they were three. \nWHAT DO WE DO?\nTraditionally\, the Sunday following Epiphany Day celebrates the baptism of Jesus. Readings in the weeks after Epiphany emphasise the ministry of Jesus\, including the wedding at Cana. \nWhite is used as a symbol of joy. \nSome churches conduct baptisms or renew their baptismal vows \nTHE FIRST CHRISTMAS\nEpiphany was observed even before Christmas! For Early Christians Jesus’ birth was not as important as his death\, and Easter served asthe primary celebration of the Church. Epiphany was a summary of the beginning of the Gospel story. It was only later\, amidst debates on the divinity and humanity of Jesus\, that Christmas began to be celebrated. \nREFERENCES \n\nAlexander\, J. Neil.

SUMMARY:Ordinary Time After Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS IT?\nOrdinary Time refers to the time between the two cycles of Advent-Christmas-Epiphany and Lent-Easter-Pentecost. They are marked as “After Epiphany” and “After Pentecost” respectively. \nWHY DO WE CELEBRATE IT?\nOrdinary Time itself has no central theme\, but Scripture readings during After Epiphany emphasise the growth of the Kingdom of God through the life and ministry of Jesus – an extension to the Epiphany theme of “revealing” Jesus to the world. \nNOTHING ORDINARY ABOUT ORDINARY TIME\n“Ordinary” comes from the word “ordinal”\, referring to how the weeks are counted in order (e.g.\, 1st Sunday After Epiphany\, 2nd Sunday After Epiphany\, and so on). \nWHAT DO WE DO?\nThe season is punctuated by special holy days (the source of the word “holiday”) such as Transfiguration Sunday. Other days significant to the congregation\, such as ACS Sunday\, are also observed. \nGreen is used to signify growth and life. \nSermons tend to focus on Jesus’ call for us to follow him as disciples. \nBOOKENDING THE ORDINARY\nBoth blocks of ordinary time keep our focus on the life and ministry of Jesus. The early weeks of After Epiphany continue the trajectory of the three strands of the Epiphany of Jesus\, in particular his baptism\, and the wedding at Cana. The first Sunday of After Epiphany is thus observed as “The Sunday of the Baptism of our Lord”. The last Sunday of After Epiphany is observed as “Transfiguration Sunday”\, the final great revelation of Jesus to the world. \nREFERENCES \n\nSenn\, Frank C. Introduction to Christian Liturgy.
