The Epiphany of the Lord 2005
  
Please be patient... photos may take a few moments to download.
 

On the Solemnity of the Epiphany, we remember the visit of the three kings to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.  Children wheel these images of the kings into the Cathedral in the solemn entrance procession.  Read Father Ryan's Epiphany Homily.


After Mass, the children gather in the Chapel to receive a gift from Father Ryan and to pray at the nativity scene.


It's an old European tradition to give children chocolate coins on Epiphany.  These coins symbolize the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh which the wise men brought to the infant Jesus.


Everyone crowds in to see the nativity scene after Mass.


The three Kings.
