The Story of Epiphany

The Feast of Epiphany marks the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the Magi who traveled far and wide, guided by a bright star, to bring their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the newborn King. As written in Matthew 2:10: “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.” This scripture reminds us of the immense joy and wonder that faith can bring into our lives.
