Feast Of The Epiphany
Mr Duigan led the Monday Mission assembly on our return to school from the Christmas holidays. He explained the meaning of the word Epiphany, also known as the Twelfth Night, which marks the day Jesus was revealed to the world, and which is celebrated on 6 January. It is the time when the Wise Men, or Magi, travelled from different parts of the world to celebrate the birth of Jesus by bringing Him special gifts. It is also a reminder for us to consider the gifts and talents which we too could offer to Jesus. Mention was also made of the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, when John the Baptist baptised Jesus, and the Feast of the Holy Family, which is celebrated on the first Sunday after Christmas.
