Happy Epiphany! The Three kings visit Baby Jesus. Visit the Manger scene in the church.
WeBelieve Epiphany_Prayer_Service
We look at the nativity, talked about the wise men coming from other countries. The 3 wise men (3 kings) were some of the first people to worship Jesus. They were from different countries and didn’t speak the Hebrew language. God opened salvation to all peoples not just the Jewish people!
We had a prayer service for the Epiphany and lit a candle for our intentions (friends and family who may be sick, grieving or rejoicing) We stood in front of the altar near the Tabernacle, Baptism font, and the Ambry (Blest Are We p.120)
A votive candle or prayer candle is a candle, typically white or beeswax yellow, intended to be burnt as a votive offering in an act of Christian prayer
Presentation of Jesus
Presentation of Jesus in the temple 8 days after his birth. That is when His name was given. There he was greeted by Simeon and Anna.
After the wise men left, Herod was searching for the Christ child. Mary , Joseph and Jesus flee to Egypt until Herod died…for he wanted the “Baby King” dead.
Flight to Egypt
We follow Mary and Joseph’s path from Nazareth to Bethlehem and Egypt on our map.
