There may not have been twelve drummers drum-ing, but there was definitely rejoicing in heaven and on earth as God incarnate became manifest to the world: in the East, "Theophany" - the appearance/manifestation of God Triune, Father, Son and Holy Spirit at Christ's baptism - is celebrated and remembered on January 6, across the Orthodox World. (In the West, this January feast is referred to as "Epiphany", the appearance of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.)
Thus ends the festive Nativity season. And thus, I must now un-decorate my house of all things Christmas and get back to blogging.
Good-by Nutcrackers, St. Lucia, and my tree. Hello to more Good Books for 2021!
