SUMMARY:Christian - Baptism of the Lord Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord\, or Theophany\, is the feast day commemorating 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/Three Kings/Three Wise Men\, 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 distinct 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.

SUMMARY:Orthodox Christian - Feast of the Nativity
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate their Christmas on January 7. They typically call this day the Feast of the Nativity. The reason Eastern churches celebrate the Feast of the Nativity on January 7\, is because they still follow the Julian calendar. There is a thirteen day gap between the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar\, which Western churches use. \nOn the Feast Day\, some observers cut a branch from a tree and bring it into their home. This symbolizes Jesus entering their home and hearts. People great each other with the traditional greeting of “Christ is born!”\, and respond\, “Glorify Him!” Then\, the bread present at the feast will be torn and shared with everyone. Some families have straw scattered at their table as a reminder of Jesus’ birth in the manger.

SUMMARY:Christian - Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:Epiphany\, also known as Theophany in Eastern Christian traditions\, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God incarnate as Jesus Christ. \nIn Western Christianity\, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Three Kings or Three Wise men to the Christ Child. The feast of the Epiphany\, in some denominations\, also initiates the liturgical season of Epiphanytide. \nEastern Christians\, on the other hand\, commemorate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River\, seen as his manifestation to the world as the Son of God.  \nThe traditional date for the feast is January 6. However\, since 1970\, the celebration is held in some countries on the Sunday after January 1. Those Eastern Churches which are still following the Julian calendar observe the feast on what\, according to the internationally used Gregorian calendar\, is January 19.

SUMMARY:Christian Catholic - The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ
DESCRIPTION:The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ is a Christian celebration of the circumcision of Jesus in accordance with Jewish tradition\, eight days (according to the Semitic and southern European calculation of intervals of days) after his birth\, the occasion on which the child was formally given his name. \nThe circumcision of Jesus has traditionally been seen as the first time the blood of Christ was shed\, and thus the beginning of the process of the redemption of man\, and a demonstration that Christ was fully human\, and of his obedience to Biblical law. \nThe feast day appears on 1 January in the liturgical calendar of the Byzantine Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. In the General Roman Calendar\, the 1 January feast\, which from 1568 to 1960 was called “The Circumcision of the Lord and the Octave of the Nativity”\, is now named the Solemnity of Mary\, Mother of God\, and the Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord. It is celebrated by some churches of the Anglican Communion and virtually all Lutheran churches. In these latter Western Christian denominations\, the Feast of the Naming and Circumcision of Jesus Christ marks the eighth day (octave day) of Christmastide. \n  \nPicture from the Menologion of Basil II
