Winter Feasts and Devotions

A joyous time dedicated to dancing, celebrating, and games—especially in Latin and European countries.

Epiphany celebrates the adoration of the Magi, the baptism of Christ, and the first miracle at the wedding feast of Cana.

The Eve of the Feast of the Epiphany is the twelfth day of Christmas, and tonight is known as “Twelfth Night”.

Devotion to the Holy Name is deeply rooted in the sacred scriptures, especially in the Acts of the Apostles.

Three feasts converge on this day: Mary Mother of God (N.O.), the Octave Day of Christmas, and the Circumcision.
