DESCRIPTION:In Common Worship Epiphany is a season\, beginning on 6 Januar
 y and continuing until the Feast of Candlemas on 2 February.  It is a time
  of sustained reflection on the mystery of the Incarnation of our Lord.\n 
 \nChristians have grown accustomed to thinking of the Epiphany as exclusiv
 ely about the ‘wise men’ or ‘Magi’\, commonly thought of as ‘kin
 gs’ because of Old Testament allusions (e.g. Psalm 72.10\, 11) and the c
 ostly nature of the gifts they presented.  The fact that the New Testament
  mentions three gifts gave rise to the popular tradition of ‘three kings
 ’.  However\, there is an older tradition which focuses on three revelat
 ions of Christ - the revelation of Christ to the Magi\, who were probably 
 Gentiles\; the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God at his baptism in the
  river Jordan\; and the revelation of his glory in the first miracle that 
 he wrought at the wedding in Cana of Galilee\, the turning of water into w
 ine.  \n \nAs the service proceeds\, we focus on the Crib\, and incense is
  offered as a sign of our worship of Christ the divine Son of God\; on the
  Font\, as commemorating the Baptism of the Lord we reaffirm our own bapti
 smal covenant with words from the Baptism service\; and on the Nave Altar\
 , as we give thanks for the transforming grace of the Eucharist.\n \nIn al
 l of this\, we celebrate our union with Christ\, as in saving love and pow
 er he unites us with himself and calls us to reveal his glory in the world
