On Jan. 4, Our Lady of Fatima/St. Nicholas Church in Passaic, N.J., welcomed Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney, who celebrated Mass for the Solemnity of the Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day.
On this feast, the Church celebrates Christ’s manifestation, epiphany, to the nations, the Gentiles, in the persons of the Magi, also known as the Wise Men or the Three Kings. In earlier times, this feast combined two other manifestations: one at the Lord’s Baptism and one in Cana at the wedding feast.
