Epiphany


by Rev. Stephen D. Cole

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: January 04, 2026

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Epiphany is a feast day in the Christian calendar. It is traditionally celebrated on the 6th of January, or the first Sunday of the new year. The New Church does not adhere closely to the traditional Christian calendar, but Epiphany generally focuses on the visit of the Magi, which is a theme that we often do touch on in the days following Christmas. In common speech an "epiphany" suggests a sudden insight. But is this idea somehow relevant to the Magi? Is there some element in the story that suggests that they came to some special threshold of new understanding?
