Our thanks to everyone who sent in these photos of their Epiphany liturgies; we will definitely be doing a second photopost for the feast, so there is time to send in yours if you haven’t already done so. (photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org) Once again, we manage to cover most of the feast’s many liturgical bases, especially the blessing of water, which is becoming more popular with each passing year, the blessing of chalk, and the proclamation of the movable feasts.

A few years ago, there was a bit of a mishap with the blessing of the waters; so many people brought bottles to be blessed that the table they were on buckled...
and the bottles had to be moved to the altar rail: an encouraging sign of the increasing popularity of this custom.
