The Feast of the Epiphany: Introduction
Feast Day Virtual Art Gallery (January 6, 2021)
Jesus, light of the world, let your bright star stand over the place where the poor have to live; lead our sages to wisdom and our rulers to reverence. Hear this prayer for your love's sake. Amen. ~ New Zealand Prayer Book
The Feast of the Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the peoples of the earth, is the first in our celebration of Feast Days with Church of the Redeemer's new digital art gallery.
We invited parishioner-artists to create an offering(s) around something that is commonplace that has transformed during 2020. It may be an Epiphany that has come to them. It may be how the time of Advent rest transformed them. It may be simply something that inspires them.
Please enjoy these submissions of all styles of art: music, visual, painting, photography, poetry, short story, etc. with the common theme of Epiphany. We encourage you to listen to the Epiphany Music playlist, compiled by Anny Stevens-Gleason as you wander through our gallery and throughout the Season of Epiphany.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:12
