Epiphany : (Koine Greek: ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation", "striking appearance"[1]) or Theophany[2] (Ancient Greek (ἡ) Θεοφάνεια, Τheophaneia meaning "vision of God"[3]), which traditionally falls on January 6.Just after 9am this morning there was a ring on the bell. Still in my dressing gown, I opened it to find a young girl holding out a small package. "Happy Epiphany! My mum told me to give you this."
Victoria's grandparents live a few doors up from us and she lives a few doors down. Her Spanish mum made this beautiful, traditional Kings Bread to remember and celebrate the meeting of the magi with Jesus in Bethlehem.
It was a beautiful gift; a wonderful epiphany. It spoke to me of the nature of God and the beautiful things he is doing in the community I am part of. Bread - yeast - fruit - gift - obedience - generosity - kindness - blessing - all wrapped up and given by a child. Perfect.
