The Mystery of Theophany (Epiphany) Revealed; A Video by Fr. Demetrius

A special acknowledgement to Fr. Demetrius for a beautiful and inspiring video short! 




Many celebrate the Feast days and know their designations but the cause for which they were established they know not thus concerning this that the present Feast is called theophany everyone knows but what this is theophany and whether it be one thing or another they know not why is not that day on which the Lord was born considered the but rather this day on which he was baptized this present day it is on which he was baptized and Sanctified the nature of water why then is this day called theophany because Christ made himself 

known to all not then when he was born but then when he was baptized until this time it was not known to the people and that the people did not know him who he was listen about this to John the Baptist who says amidst you stands him whom you know not of and I said he knew him not but he that did send me to baptize with water about this one did tell unto me over him that shalt see the spirit descending and abiding upon him this one it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit thus from this it is evident that

There are two theophanies and why Christ comes at baptism and on whichever baptism he comes about this it is necessary to say it is therefore necessary to know both the one and equally the other so did any of you know about these layers of meaning behind theophany have you ever celebrated this feast in your community or church I'd love to hear your thoughts if you found this video enlightening please hit that like button drop your experiences or questions in the comment and don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more insights into fascinating religious traditions and events about what's going on in our world let's keep the conversation going like comment and subscribe to join our community of Learners and Believers thanks for watching.
