Baptism of the Lord ~ Feast Day
The Baptism of the Christ is the feast day commemorat-
ing the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the
Baptist. Originally the baptism of Christ was celebrated
on Epiphany, which commemorates the coming of the
Magi, the baptism of Christ, and the wedding at Cana.
Over time in the West, however, the celebration of the
baptism of the Lord came to be commemorated as a dis-
tinct feast from Epiphany. It is celebrated in the Catholic
Church as well as the Anglican and Lutheran Churches
on the first Sunday following The Epiphany of Our Lord.
