ABOUT EPIPHANY SEASON AND THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD . . . The word epiphany means manifestation.  The Epiphany was originally observed in the Eastern Church as the feast celebrating the manifestation of Christ as God’s Son at his Baptism, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles (the Magi representing the brightest of the Gentile world) and the manifestation of his miraculous power by turning water into wine.  The first Sunday following the Epiphany celebrates particularly the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, and is the last feast day in the celebratory Incarnation cycle.  Subsequent Sundays will use green vestments and are commonly known as “Ordinary Time.”
