Join us at Indian Heights UMC as we travel through Epiphany, the Season of Light.
Next to Easter, Epiphany is the oldest season of the church year. In Asia Minor and Egypt, Epiphany was observed as early as the 2nd century. The Festival of the Epiphany fell and still falls on January 6, and the season of Epiphany last until Ash Wednesday, February 22. In the church year, Epiphany Day is a major festival, similar to Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. In spite of this, most churches ignore January 6 as the Day of Epiphany because it usually falls on a weekday. The name “Epiphany” means “Manifestation.” The light manifests itself in the darkness, God reveals himself in Jesus, and the glory of God is seen in Jesus.
Epiphany is an accordion season. The number of weeks it is observed depends upon the date of Easter. If Easter comes early, the season is short; if it is late, the season of Epiphany is long. In early times the length of the Epiphany season ranged from three to ten weeks. Epiphany is associated with the star that led the Wise Men to Bethlehem. The purpose of the star of Bethlehem was to guide men to Christ. The star is help from above in bringing us to Christ
