Windows to Heaven: The Icon of the Theophany

The Feast of Theophany is celebrated in the Church 12 days after Christmas (January 6th on the New Calendar and January 19th on the Old Calendar). The feast of Theophany is when Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. We can find the account of Christ's baptism by John in all four Gospels (Matthew 3, Mark 1:1-9, Luke 3:21-22, John 1:31-34).

At first, John did not want to Baptize Jesus, saying, "I need to be Baptized by You, and You are coming to me? (Mt. 3:14). Jesus answered and said, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. (Mt. 3:15). Jesus' baptism symbolizes what He would do for all of us—lifting us up and cleansing us from our sins. Read More »
