The feast of Epiphany on January 5-6 is a most glorious way to begin the new year. It is indeed a feast of re-creation, i.e., making everything in our life new. Fr. Alexander Schmemann reminds us that “the world turned away from God, forgot Him, stopped seeing Him and immersed itself in sin, darkness and death. But God did not forget the world. Here, in His baptism, God returns it to us, shining with the glory of the stars and the beauty it had on the first day of creation. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me…out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water” (Jn 7:37, 38).
