Epiphany

Peter Paul Rubens, 1634, The Adoration of the Magi

Today, January 6, is Epiphany, and for many Protestant churches, marks the beginning of the Season of Epiphany, which lasts until Ash Wednesday. The term "epiphany" means "to show," "make manifest,""make known," etc. and focuses on the manifestation of God in Christ in the world at times such as the visit of the magi and the baptism of Jesus. In what ways, has God been made known to you in this world?
