Services in the Langtons – Winter 2026

Posted on 11/01/2026 by St Peter's Church, Church Langton, Leicestershire

January & February 2026

Welcome to the season of Epiphany – The time that marks the visit of the Wise Men or Magi to the infant Jesus.

What is Epiphany?

Epiphany is the Christian feast on January 6th (or 19th for some Orthodox) marking the manifestation of Jesus to the world, primarily celebrated as the visit of the Magi (Wise Men) to the Christ child. Epiphany also commemorates his baptism and the miracle at Cana, signifying his divinity to Gentiles. The word means “revelation,” and in secular use, it refers to a sudden, insightful realisation. Celebrations include Three Kings’ Day festivities, water blessings (Theophany), and removing Christmas decorations, symbolizing the revelation of Christ’s glory. Generally, it occurs on the Twelfth Day – 6th January.

The Three Kings

Although we often think of three kings, their number isn’t actually mentioned in the Gospel accounts. They are described as ‘wise men’; astronomers and astrologers ‘from the East’. Again, we don’t know from where exactly. They had noticed a phenomenon in the night sky – an unusually bright star, which they interpreted as the sign of a newborn king of the Jews. These men felt compelled to travel many miles (possibly on the Silk Roads) to find this child so they could present gifts to honour his status and significance. They brought three special and expensive gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh – all marking the baby’s status, in life and eventually, in death.
