The Baptism of the Lord, also known as the Epiphany, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. It is observed on January 6th in the Western Christian tradition and on January 19th in the Eastern Christian tradition.
The Baptism of the Lord is an important feast day because it marks the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. It is also a reminder of our own baptism, which is a sacrament of initiation into the Christian faith. Baptism is a sign of our faith in Jesus Christ and a commitment to follow him.
