Epiphany, part 1 : religion
" I've just had an apostrophe ! "
~ Smee, Hook ~
( To make it clear; yes, Epiphany was yesterday .. But I have been caught up in other business for the past few days . So I had to wait . )
A Hangover quote from Joan of Arcadia :
" Our job as artists is to press on, continue creating, 'cos that's who we are .
Even if some critic does crush you like a bug .., that's who we are . "
~ Umm .. Joan's mom ? ~
I didn't say anything, because
I didn't have anything to say .
Now I do .
" In the Western church, Epiphany is usually celebrated as the time the Wise Men or Magi arrived to present gifts to the young Jesus .... Traditionally there were three Magi, probably from the fact of three gifts, even though the biblical narrative never says how many Magi came .... Since Eastern Orthodox traditions use a different religious calendar, they celebrate Christmas on January 7th and observe Epiphany or Theophany on January 19th ....
" The Twelfth Night [ like Shakespeare ] is January 5th, the last day of the Christmas Season before Epiphany ( January 6th ) . In some church traditions, January 5th is considered the eleventh Day of Christmas, while the evening of January 5th is still counted as the Twelfth Night, the beginning of the Twelfth day of Christmas the following day ....
" The popular song ' The Twelve Days of Christmas ' is usually seen as simply a nonsense song for children . However, some have suggested that it is a song of Christian instruction dating to the 16th century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic teachings of the Faith . They contend that it was a mnemonic device to teach the catechism to youngsters . The ' true love ' mentioned in the song is not an earthly suitor, but refers to God Himself . The ' me ' who receives the presents refers to every baptized person who is part of the Christian Faith . Each of the ' days ' represents some aspect of the Christian Faith that was important for children to learn . "
I was actually going to talk about true love . Come on people, there is no such thing . At least not that should concern you, anyway . True love is pure love, and pure love cannot be reached by any mere human, because there will always be other thoughts and feelings in your mind, in your heart, whatever you choose to believe . You cannot get there; you can only get very close . It is like an asymptote !!
