Today is the feat of the Epiphany! A feast day which in the Western Church celebrates the visit of the wise men to the baby Jesus. In the Eastern Church it is a much greater celebration marking the Birth of Jesus, the Baptism of Jesus, the visit of the wise men and the changing of water into wine at the Wedding at Cana.
Over the last few months since arriving here in the Philippines I have been spending some time each day reflecting on the first two chapters of Matthew's Gospel, the chapters which refer most closely to today's feast day. These reflections have gradually become a piece of writing. For those of you who are interested what I've written is available at the link below.
The text is quite long and quite technical so will probably only be of interest to those of you interested in biblical theology and who have enough leisure time to read it. It also has nothing to do with the Philippines except that it was written here.
If any of you are interested and do find time to read it then your opinion, ideas and feedback would be appreciated!
