Epiphany means "appearance" or "manifestation," and it describes how God shows himself to the world through Jesus. Beginning on January 6 (the Feast of the Epiphany) and running until Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent), the season of Epiphany focuses on Jesus's identity as the Son of God through miraculous interventions (like the visit of the Magi, his baptism, and the miracle at the wedding in Cana), teachings, and healings. We celebrate that Jesus is the savior of the world, and his mission continues in and through his Church!

This Epiphany, we'll be working through the lectionary readings (the Church's Sunday Bible reading plan). 

The Epiphany is depicted in a mural titled “Adoration of the Magi” in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception at Conception Abbey in Conception, Mo. Painted by Benedictine monks in the late 1800s.
