Celebrating Theophany at Four Evangelists Orthodox Church

9 January 2023 at 09:00

When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan / worship of the Trinity wast made manifest / for the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee / calling Thee His beloved Son / And the Spirit in the form of a dove / confirmed the truth of His word / O Christ our God, Who hath appeared and enlightened the world, / glory to Thee!
Troparion for the Feast of Theophany

Christ is Baptized! In the Jordan!
