Welcome to the Saint Mark of Ephesus Orthodox Cathedral Online

Holy Theophany of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ

January 6/19



WHEN THOU wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest; for the voice of the Father bare witness to Thee, calling Thee His beloved Son. And the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the certainty of the word. O Christ our God, Who hast ap- peared and hast enlightened the world, glory be to Thee.

(Dismissal Hymn of the Feast)
