Epiphany is one of the most important and solemn Christian feasts, commemorating the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. Through this sacred event, the Holy Trinity was revealed to the world for the first time: God the Father’s voice was heard from heaven, the Son was baptized, and the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove.
Epiphany symbolizes spiritual purification, repentance, and the beginning of a new life. It serves as the foundation of Christian baptism and reminds believers of the importance of faith and spiritual responsibility. On this day, water is believed to receive special grace, which is why the Great Blessing of Water is performed. Blessed water is received by the faithful as a sign of God’s grace, spiritual strength, and well-being.
In Georgia, Epiphany is celebrated with deep reverence and strong spiritual tradition. Festive church services are held in temples across the country, and believers exchange greetings, prayers, and good wishes as they welcome this day of spiritual renewal.
