1. What does the Feast of the Epiphany mean to you?
2. Do you celebrate that meaning in any way?
3. Have you ever had a personal epiphany?
The Feast of the Epiphany means to me the first manifestation of Jesus to the gentiles…He is incorporating not only the Jewish nation, but the gentiles as well as His Own. It is a time of praise and thankfulness specifically…and in whatever manner The Lord may ask of me…
It is also traditionally twelfth night and the day after Epiphany I take down all Christmas decorations and it is now my task through, with and inThe Lord to make Him manifest in all the communities to which I belong and specifically the general community…
During the bombing of London in the Second World War a large statute of Jesus in a Cathedral was badly damaged. It was reconstructed after the War but the hands on the statue were never replaced. This is the inscription instead that is written on the base of the statue: “He has no hands but yours”.
