Celebrating Theophany

The Feast of the Theophany commemorates Christ's Baptism. The Liturgy on this Feast Day of the Theophany concludes with the service of the Great Blessing of Waters. At the end of the service, the priest blesses the congregation with Holy Water.

"When Thou, O Lord, was baptized in the Jordan, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.  For the voice of the Father bore witness unto Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son, and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the truthfulness of His word.  O Christ our God, who hast revealed Thyself, and enlightened the world, glory to Thee."
