Join Heather on this episode of “The Holy Hot Mess Podcast” for Catholic Women as she delves into the significance of January 6th, 2019 – the day Catholics celebrate the Epiphany. Ever wondered why Catholics say, “keep the tree up until Epiphany”? Heather sought out the answer, and she’s here to share the enlightening explanation with you.

The Epiphany marks the Manifestation of Christ to the gentiles (non-Jewish people), as beautifully depicted in Matthew 2:1-12. Heather not only explains the theological significance but also provides resources to deepen your understanding. She recommends insightful talks and reflections, including those by Dr. Scott Hahn from the St. Paul Center and a podcast episode titled “The Sacred Page” featuring Dr. Brant Pitre, a notable modern theologian.

Heather also references CCC 528, highlighting how Jesus is presented not only as the Messiah of Jewish Israel but also as the Son of God and the Savior of the WHOLE WORLD during the Epiphany.

To add an extra layer of insight, she suggests exploring “Joy to the World: How Christ’s birth changed everything and still does” by Dr. Scott Hahn.

As you listen, immerse yourself in the rich history and spiritual significance of the Epiphany. Heather’s passionate exploration and recommended resources offer a chance to deepen your faith and appreciate the enduring impact of Christ’s manifestation to the gentiles. Tune in, learn, and celebrate the Epiphany beyond the twelfth day of Christmas.
