Feast of the Epiphany


[The LORD] says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." (Isaiah 49.6)

Today much of the Latin world will celebrate Three Kings Day.  Families will exchange gifts and celebrate the day that Jesus Christ was made manifest to the whole gentile world, as witnessed by a star leading the Wise Men to the Christ child's manger.  This child is the Salvation foretold by Isaiah the prophet.
