This resource is designed to help groups celebrate Epiphany, January 6th. It can be used during a worship service or other special event. Traditionally, the feast of Epiphany signified the close of the Christmas season.
Many countries save their high feasting and gift-giving for Epiphany.
By saving our gift-giving for January 6th, we might better focus our Advent and Christmas celebrations on the birth of Christ. In addition to choosing a leader and a person to read the story of Baboushka, you will need to choose three kings to play the parts of Caspar, Melchoir and Balthasar. One way to choose the kings is to bake three kings' cakes. Before baking the cake batter, place one dried lima bean in each cake. Serve the cakes during church school classes or a special meal sometime before Epiphany.
