according to St. Matthew 2. 1–12

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the

king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where

is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star

at its rising and have come to worship him.” And when King Herod

heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him, and after calling

together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from

them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem

of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means

least among the rulers of Judah, for from you will go out

a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and determined precisely

from them the time when the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethle-

hem and said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you

have found him, report to me so that I also may come and[j] worship

him.” After they listened to the king, they went out, and behold, the star

which they had seen at its rising led them until it came and stood above

the place where the child was. Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced

with very great joy. And when they came into the house, they saw the

child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.

And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and

frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to

Herod, they went back to their own country by another route. †

The Epiphany of Christ The manifestation of the Son of God to the Gentiles

PRINCIPAL FEAST

Almighty God, you have given us your only-begotten Son

to take our nature upon him and as at this time to be born of a pure virgin:

grant that we, who have been born again and made yoru children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; grant this through

Jesus Christ, your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the same Spirit, one God forever and ever. —AMEN
