Christmas & Epiphany
Christmas
Christmas begins on December 25 and continues for twelve day until January 6,the Epiphany. Christmastide includes Christmas Day, the First Sunday after Christmas Day, the Holy Name of Our Lord and may include the Second Sunday after Christmas Day. It is a time of celebration commemorating a tone of the holiest time of the year that symbolizes the incarnation of the Lord and his life on Earth.
White is the color that symbolizes joy, purity, and truth. It is, therefore, the liturgical color for the seasons of Christmas and Easter.
Epiphany
Epiphany means "to show forth". It is the celebration of the visitation of the wise men to the Christ child which begins on January 6. The first Sunday after the Epiphany is the baptism of Jesus, during this time we wear white. All other days during the Epiphany we celebrate the with green representing all living things and God's creation.
