From Epiphany, Presbyterian Mission Agency:
Epiphany is the celebration of God’s manifestation or self-revelation to the world in Jesus Christ. In particular, we celebrate the revelation of God’s promise and purpose to the nations of the world, as the magi came from the East to worship to the Christ child, and God’s covenant of grace is extended to all who believe the good news of Christ Jesus. The symbolism of light is important: not only because of the star that guided the magi, but as it relates to the bright dawning of God’s self-revelation in Christ.
Theme for 2023 is “The Heavens are Telling”, inspired by The Creation (Fraz Joseph Haydn)
The heavens are telling the glory of God,
The wonder of his work displays the firmament;
Today that is coming speaks it the day, The night that is gone to following night.
The heavens are telling the glory of God,
The wonder of his work displays the firmament;
In all the lands resounds the word, never unperceived, ever understood.
The heavens are telling the glory of God,
The wonder of his work displays the firmament.
