| Итог: | In the Eastern Christian tradition Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus and the attendant revelation of God as Trinity: at the Jordan the Father’s voice proclaims Jesus as the divine Son, and the Holy Spirit comes upon him.

Blessed water is taken home to be kept and used by the faithful during the ensuing year, and is drunk for the forgiveness of sins and healing of soul and body. |
