Who We Are

Epiphany in the Anglican tradition commemorates the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. The word "Epiphany" itself means "manifestation" or "revelation."

In Anglican liturgy and practice, Epiphany is celebrated on January 6th, marking the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of the liturgical season of Epiphanytide. This season extends until the beginning of Lent.

The Anglican Church emphasizes the universal significance of Christ's birth and mission, highlighting the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's plan of salvation. The visit of the Magi is seen as symbolic of the revelation of Christ to all peoples, not just to the Jewish nation.

During Epiphany, Anglicans focus on themes of light, revelation, and the mission of the Church to bring Christ's light to the world. The traditional Gospel readings for Epiphany include the story of the Magi (Matthew 2:1-12) and other passages that highlight the manifestation of Jesus' divine nature.

In Anglican worship, Epiphany is often marked by special services, including the blessing of homes or the chalking of the doors with the year and the initials C, M, B (representing the names of the traditional Magi - Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar). This ritual is accompanied by prayers for God's blessing and protection throughout the year.

Overall, Epiphany in the Anglican tradition serves as a reminder of God's inclusive love and the call to share the light of Christ with all people, reflecting the broader Anglican emphasis on both the mystery and the universality of Christ's mission on earth.
