Beginning on January 6th, we mark the Epiphany, when Jesus' divine nature and mission are revealed to the world through the visit of the Magi. This is followed by Jesus' baptism and his first miracle of turning water to wine at Cana. Through much of the church's history, it was the Epiphany that was the focus of the church's celebration of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. Our Epiphany table centrepiece includes the star which guided the Magi to Jesus, containers for the gifts of the Magi (two of which do contain frankincense and myrrh), as well as a small bowl of water and a dove for Jesus' baptism. The colour for this season is green which symbolizes growth in our love and following - our discipleship - of Jesus. |

Christian Seasons Mission From the very beginning the Church created special days and seasons to remind us that our lives are centered in the saving acts of God through Jesus Christ and to strengthen the bonds of community through enjoyable celebrations. The seasons we highlight here are the primary ones used by Christians from Protestant, Orthodox, and Roman Catholic backgrounds. Our goal is to provide resources that would appeal to a broad range of Christians around the world. Our resources aim to strengthen Christian discipleship in the home through nurturing a connection with the life of the worshiping church. Check out www.thechristiancalendar.com for a great and unique way to mark the Christian seasons in your church, home and office. NOTE: This site is still under construction and on a new server. New content and formatting will be added weekly.
