Epiphany, January 6

Activity

  • Make use of one of the resources on the tabs below (carols, reflections, scripture, literature, etc.)
  • Celebrate epiphany by making use of any of the traditions around the world, from dressing as the three wise men and going door-to-door singing carols, to baking a King Cake, to giving gifts.  Here are links with some ideas:
  • Four Traditions (from Baylor)
  • Wikipedia
  • Catholic Herald
  • Read the account in Matthew 2 and have your children draw a picture of the Magi bringing gifts to the house in Bethlehem.  Note that the narrative never says there are only three, there is a house (rather than a stable) involved, and the event seems to be about two years after Jesus' birth.
  • Take down your Christmas decorations today.

gift giving

  • Give one of the gifts you did not give at Christmas, or buy a new gift just for Epiphany.
  • Buy someone perfume or incense.
  • NO CASH OPTION: Bake a King Cake or some other Epiphany pastry for someone.
