Today, January 6th, is known as Epiphany on the liturgical calendar. It is a day of celebration in remembering the incarnation of our Lord. Whereas Advent focuses on the incarnation event itself, Epiphany is a celebration of the visitation of the Magi, Jesus’ childhood, and his baptism. In the Western churches- the celebration is primarily a rememberance of the visitation of the Magi, which symbolizes the revelation of the Jewish Messiah to the Gentiles (non-Jews; the Magi themselves were Gentiles). In the Eastern tradition, the celebration reaches past the visitation to the baptism of Jesus by John. The baptism of Jesus is celebrated at a trinitarian theophany- where we hear the voice of the Father from heaven, see the Son being baptised, and witness the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus.

Thomas, of Everyday Liturgy, has written an excellent peace on welcoming the King. I suggest checking it out as you meditate on the incarnation of our King.
