Theophany

On January 6th, the Church celebrates the Great Feast called "Theophany," which means "the revelation of God". On this day the Church remembers the baptism of Our Lord and Savior in the Jordan River by John the Forerunner, and the manifestation of God as Holy Trinity.

At Your baptism in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was revealed, for the Father's voice bore witness to You by calling You His beloved son, and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the truth of these words. O Christ God, who have appeared to us and enlightened the world, glory to You!
