12th Night -- The Epiphany of the Lord

 

Today is the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, Epiphania Domini, 12th Night, Three Kings Day, Little Christmas, Women's Christmas, Wedding Feast at Cana Day, and possibly even the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord in the Jordan.  Although that last  one does have it's very own feast day on the 13th of the month in the traditional calendar and some other day, which I've forgotten,  in the bright, shiny, new, up-to-date, aggiornamentoed Bugnini calendar.  And I can't swear that I haven't forgotten a name or two.

The Inn has posted the Blessed Cardinal Schuster's discussion of the Epiphany more than once.  Another citation for 2025 will do no harm.  It's well-worth a review.  You can find it, among other places, here.
