The 2019 Guide to All Things Epiphany

2019GuidetoAllThingsEpiphany

 

The Epiphany falls ON Sunday this year, and if you are a Novus Ordo Mass goer, you know that this feast day typically is celebrated on the Sunday closest to the 6th, while Latin Mass goers celebrate the Epiphany on the actual date. For some, it marks the end of the Christmas season, but for many the end of Christmas extends to February 2 – Candlemas, also referred to as The Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Because the Epiphany lands on Sunday this year, Ordinary Form and Extraordinary Form Mass goers will celebrate on the same day.
