“Water Turned to Wine” (John 2:9)

Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

Feast of Baptism

Our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized in the River Jordan by Saint John the Baptist on Tir 11. And the festival which is kept on this day is called in the tongue of the Greeks “Ipiphany,” which is, being interpreted, “the appearance of the Godhead,” because on this day appeared the mystery of the Holy Trinity–the Father, saying from heaven, “This is my Son Whom I love, in Whom I am well pleased. Hear Him.”

Abidance to the Lord!

The good will of mankind is what enables the obedience and the abidance to the Lord. Unfortunate though, the evil thought and desire of man has brought betrayal and defiant of God’s law and commandment resulting in the prosecution of human race.

Feasts of Circumcision

It was in the Old Testament that circumcision started by our Father Abraham. God’s pupil who lived back then were differentiated from gentiles and endowed honor by the Liturgy of Circumcision. That was like baptism for them. (Leviticus 12:3)

Behold, He is born in Bethlehem!

The holy birthday, the greatest of all festivals, the honorable, and great, and holy Birth day of our Lord Christ, from the holy Virgin Mary is celebrated on Tahesas 29. Through the Divine plan of God and His foreknowledge, Caesar Augustus issued a decree for a general census in all the Roman Empire. For that reason, Joseph rose, and the virgin with him, and went from the city of Nazareth to “Bethlehem” to be counted in the census there because he was from the tribe of Judah, from the house of David. Bethlehem was the city of David. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the Virgin gave birth to her first born child and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and put him in a manger, for they did not have a place for them in the inn.

The Plant of Religion!

The marvelous work of the creator made the image and likeliness of Mankind, bonding his existence with the imprinting of religion that is our life’s base. The foundation of any spirituality is religion. It is to have faith in God and living in faith of Him.
