I update it daily to say which day of Christmas it is. The decorations are still up, and I've been doing my best to make it to daily Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Just watched The Nativity Story with my mom for the second time in two years. Beautiful film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleFan Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've been thinking it would be a cool idea to borrow a bit from the Eastern tradition by saving a gift or two to open on Epiphany. That would provide a little continuity beyond Christmas and give you a little something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Gold, frankincense and myrrh. I guess that would translate to jewelry and perfume. A holiday made for the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 In the Byzantine tradition the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on Theophany (6 January). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Theophany is sometimes called Epiphany in the East, but the feast in the East commemorates the Lord's baptism and the consequent revelation of the Holy Trinity brought about by that mystery.
