Afterfeast of the Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ~ Commemorated January 8th

 

Afterfeast of the Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Commemorated on January 8

Troparion & Kontakion

The second day of the Afterfeast of Theophany falls on January 8. At Vespers we repeat a hymn which has already been sung at Compline for Theophany. In the hymn Saint John wonders in whose name he should baptize Christ. Should he baptize Him in the name of the Father? The Lord Jesus Christ already bears Him in Himself. Of the Son? He Himself is the incarnate Son of God. Of the Holy Spirit? Christ Himself sends the Spirit.
