Today is Epiphany, the western Christian commemoration of the revelation of God in Jesus, connected with the visit of the Magi to the infant. Click here for an article that gives some resources and explanations for the day.










In eastern Christianity, the commemoration is called Theophany, and the day honors the revelation of the Holy Trinity in Jesus, connected with his baptism in the river Jordan. This article considers the holiday.









And here's a fun little piece from the United Methodist News. I'm no relation to the interviewed astronomer. http://www.umc.org/news-and-media/what-was-the-star-of-bethlehem
