Parish Mass for the feast of the Epiphany

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Michael & All Angels
Northcote Road/Palmerston Road WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON., E17 6PQ, United Kingdom

Epiphany (the feast is also called the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles) marks the momentous visit of the Magi to worship the Christ Child, whom they believed to have been born King of the Jews. That title struck fear into King Herod, who subsequently had all boys in Bethlehem aged two or under massacred in order to eliminate the threat to his power. There is nothing in Matthew's gospel to indicate that there were three, that they were kings (other than the three types of gift which they offered - gold, frankincense and myrrh) but records from ancient times do indicate an astronomical phenomenon (possibly a comet, supernova or other celestial body). We celebrate this great event at our Parish Mass on 4 January.

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are no longer in interregnum at St Michael's and warmly welcome Canon Fred Ashford-Okai, our new priest in charge.  

We would like to thank all of those who have supported St Michaels during our interregnum helping us reach and grow our church community, and look forward to growing even more.

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.

God Bless
