This season begins on Christmas Day and ends with the feast of the Epiphany. This is a time of thanksgiving for the gift of the Word Made Flesh to our world, God coming among us as a humble servant and affirming each human being in the world. The Baptism of Our Lord is celebrated on the following Sunday.
