The Holy Epiphany

January 19, 2026

Tobe 11, 1742

"And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.  I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” John 1:32-34

Holy Baptism was imparted to us by our Lord Jesus Christ through word and deed. Through deed by receiving Baptism from John in the Jordon; through word by charging his own disciples to go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
