Season of Epiphany*: The word Epiphany in Syriac is known as ”Denha”, means ‘dawn’ ‘revelation’ or ‘manifestation’. The Feast of Denha is celebrated on 6th January. In this season, the Church recalls the manifestation of Jesus which began with His baptism at Jordan. Jesus reveals to the world; by Father- ‘‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased’’ (Mt.3:7) and the Holy Spirit witnesses it. The mystery of the Holy Trinity is revealed at His baptism. The saints who witnessed the revealed mystery of Christ through their lives are remembered by the Church on the Fridays of this season. The most important themes commemorated during these days are the baptism of Jesus, His public life, His divine and human nature, His intimate relation with the Father and the Holy Spirit and his self-emptying love.
