We're coming to the end of the Epiphany season, this important theological season which exists between Christmas and Lent. At Christmas we've celebrated the birth of the Incarnate One, Jesus being born of Joseph and Mary into this world. And we have been spending a number of weeks looking at the concept of Epiphany. The word epiphany quite literally translates as manifestation. An epiphany is when something is made manifest to us.
Manifest comes from the same word as manual.
A manifestation is when something becomes touchable. Listen to our common language. We are people who experience epiphanies throughout our lives, manifestations of spiritual truths about ourselves, our relationships. During this Epiphany Season, we've been meditating upon how it is in and through the life of Jesus Christ we have been touched. We have been made aware of the Divine Presence.
