TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Wednesday of this week is Christmas Day in
Russia, and in much of the Orthodox world. This curious
difference in schedule has a lot to do with how calendars
have been developed and changed over the years. In the
year 45 B.C., Julius Caesar gave the empire his Julian
Calendar, with the winter solstice on January 6. This put
an end to a system in which officials called “pontiffs”
were able to tweak the calendar by adding extra days in
as needed. He invented two new months at that time,
December and January; and in order to correct the mess
the pontiffs had made, forced a year of 445 days on the
empire in what he named “The Last Year of Confusion.”
The new months varied in number of days according to a
complex schedule, but the calendar was still off by nearly
twelve minutes a year, and lost a full day every 130 years.
Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar in
1583, but not everyone appreciated his efforts. England
held out for two hundred years. 1700 was a leap year in
England, but not in France; they were eleven days apart!
George Washington was really born on February 11; when
the Gregorian calendar was finally adopted in the English
colonies shortly before the Revolution, he had to move
his birthday to February 22. Now the calendars are thirteen days apart, which accounts for Russia’s Julian calendar Christmas. And Caesar thought he had brought confusion to an end!

As members of the parish faith
community, it is our responsibility to
remember both in concrete and spiritual
ways those who cannot celebrate with
us each week because they are ill.
Those who are sick in turn, remember
all of us daily in their prayers and in
their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of
their remembering us. And so ... please remember in your
prayers:

The Epiphany
of the Lord
January 4, 2004
FIRST READING: Isaiah 60:1–6
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 72:1–2, 7–8, 10–11, 12–13
SECOND READING: Ephesians 3:2–3a, 5–6
GOSPEL: Matthew 2:1–12
Roads
There seems to be no end of biographies and autobiographies and memoirs. We love to read of life journeys, of the paths people
followed or the trails they blazed. We compare their stories to ours, their
journeys to ours, their roads taken and not taken to ours. Epiphany is the
story of a road taken by astrologers, passing strangers, wonderful and
just about exotic, but not quite. For this story is also ours.
• Comment
Never
has
Jerusalem stood so high and proud as it
stands today in the words of Isaiah.
This reading is the last part of a threeauthor (at least) book that begins
before Israel’s exile, the bitter, long
exile itself, and finally the release and
homecoming. This great wonderful
day of release from bondage, this
dream of triumph and glory is what we
read about today. Here, Isaiah looks
ahead to the great time when the city is
awash in the Lord’s own light and brilliance. All roads lead to Jerusalem, this
shining city on a hill. Jerusalem is
addressed as a person to whom everyone hastens with great joy.
This reading anticipates all that is
good. Everyone comes home. First
come the regular folks—sons and
daughters and babies—and then the
rest of the world. The generous heart
of Jerusalem opens to receive all the
riches of other nations that flow ever
toward it. The dromedaries and camels
laden with gold and frankincense mentioned in this reading conjure up the
wealthy and royal retinues that in
Isaiah’s prophecy will one day trek
toward Jerusalem.
But we, at the beginning of this
millennium, think of the coming of the
kings at Epiphany. The first reading
resonates with the later coming of the
astrologers or magi, those seers who
consulted stars and dreams, as we see
in today’s Gospel. These exotic
astrologers came a long and perhaps
circuitous route. They consulted the
local potentate, Herod, who paid no
attention whatsoever to Jewish ways.
He surely would have paid no mind to
these astrologers, except that they
became a red flag. They threatened his
hold on power, so he summoned them
and cunningly and disingenuously
inquired about how they read the stars
and what it might mean (to Herod, of
course). That duty done, the
astrologers found their way to the Holy
Family and offered the gifts fit for a
royal child—gold, frankincense, and
myrrh.
• Reflection
The astrologers, or magi, stand in for all the nonJews of the world, just as the shepherds on Christmas night stood in for
all the poor and dispossessed, the most
illogical of all worshippers. No one
would have expected the glad tidings
to be delivered to the lowly shepherds.
Similarly, no one quite expected
Gentile astrologers from Persia or
thereabouts to make their way to Israel
and break open the story of salvation
to the whole surprised world. And no
one was quite ready for the almost
fanatical Pharisee, Saul, to carry the
good news of the Messiah to the nonJewish world. In today’s second reading, Paul reminds the Ephesians and
himself once again of the amazing
truth of his conversion. The revelation
once given to the prophets and apostles
was given to him! The revelation is not
just for Israel, but is for the whole
world—Israel and beyond Israel, right
to Persia and beyond to the lands of the
rising and setting sun. Jews and
Gentiles alike share in the same Body
of Christ and are coheirs of eternal life.
The doors are indeed thrown open
to the whole world. As the new bright
and shining Jerusalem, the Church
must welcome all who come by any
route, any route whatsoever. Every
person who knocks at the door of
Christianity and seeks Christ must be
welcomed. Their stories must be told
and heeded. They who have sought
Christ by whatever light they have
must be helped to see by the light of
Christ that shines on all, the Christ
who has come for all. It is no surprise
that the small family rituals of this
feast day endure. In Southern
European countries and in the churches of the Eastern Rite, Epiphany takes
primacy of place over Christmas as a
feast day. Gifts are given, in imitation
of the gift-giving of the magi. Doors
are thrown open in welcome on this
Twelfth Day of Christmas, “Little
Christmas,” as it sometimes is known
in the northern latitudes. This is the
day we open our doors and hearts in
welcome. This is the day we honor all
seekers and seers, are helped by them,
and help them as best we can.

Œwiêto Epifanii
S³owo "epifania" oznacza "objawienie".
S³owa "epifania" i "teofania" na
Wschodzie rozumiano jako widzialne
objawienie siê bóstwa. Okreœlano te¿ w
ten sposób uroczyste odwiedziny cesarza
w mieœcie czy œwiêtowanie wa¿niejszych dni z ¿ycia w³adcy.
W Biblii ka¿de objawienie Boga stanowi
swego rodzaju "epifaniê". W roku liturgicznym Uroczystoœæ Objawienia
Pañskiego jest obchodzona 6 stycznia
albo w niedzielê przypadaj¹c¹ miêdzy 2
a 8 stycznia. Jest ona jedn¹ z najwa¿niejszych uroczystoœci
w roku liturgicznym.
Treœci¹ tego œwiêta jest radoœæ z objawienia misterium
zbawienia w Jezusie Chrystusie. Misterium to by³o
zapowiedziane przez proroków. Prorok z radoœci¹ s³awi
obecnoœæ Boga w zniszczonym mieœcie, do którego przybêd¹ wszystkie narody z ciemnoœci do œwiat³a Pana, by
"ofiarowaæ z³oto i kadzid³o, nuc¹c radoœnie hymny na czeœæ
Pana". Pierwszymi, którzy to uczynili byli Magowie ze
Wschodu. Ewangelia opisuje pok³on Mêdrców, którzy
"ujrzeli Jego gwiazdê na Wschodzie i przybyli z³o¿yæ
pok³on Panu". Ich dary symbolizuj¹ podarunki sk³adane
królowi - z³oto (Chrystus jest królem), kap³anowi - kadzid³o (symbol boskosci Chrystusa) i osobie maj¹cej umrzeæ mirra (wyraz cz³owieczeñstwa).
Bo¿e Narodzenie i Epifania œwiêtuj¹ ten sam zasadniczy
temat - jest nim narodzenie Chrystusa. O ile jednak uroczystoœæ Narodzenia Pañskiego koncentruje siê bardziej na narodzeniu Chrystusa jako cz³owieka, o tyle uroczystoœæ
Objawienia na ukazaniu siê Jego jako Pana i Zbawiciela.
Do treœci tej uroczystoœci nale¿¹ ró¿ne wydarzenia objawiaj¹ce chwa³ê Chrystusa. Prócz pok³onu Mêdrców - tak¿e
chrzest Chrystusa w Jordanie i przemiana wody w wino
w Kanie Galilejskiej. Ukazanie siê poganom nie wyczerpuje zatem znaczenia œwiêta Objawienia.
Ze œwiêtem Objawienia wi¹¿e siê kilka zwyczajów.
Pierwszym z nich jest zwyczaj b³ogos³awienia domów. W
Polsce, a tak¿e w niektórych miejscach na terenie Niemiec
dodawany jest wówczas obrzêd znaczenia drzwi domów
kred¹ literami K + M + B (C + M + B) oraz nazw¹
bie¿¹cego roku. Litery te obecnie odczytuje siê jako imiona
trzech mêdrców: Kacpra, Melchiora i Baltazara. Medrców
tak nazwal Cezary z Arles i ta tradycja przyjê³a siê
w Koœciele. Œwiêty Mateusz pisze tylko o Magach ze
Wschodu, (Mt 2,2), a Orygenes - o trzech darach. Skrót
K + M + B t³umaczyæ mo¿na te¿ inaczej - od wyra¿enia:
Christus mansionem benedicat - Niech Chrystus b³ogos³awi
mieszkanie. Znak kred¹ oznacza, ¿e w domu przyjêliœmy
Chrystusa jako Wcielonego Syna Bo¿ego.
Innym zwyczajem s¹ kolêdnicy, którzy obchodz¹ mieszkania z gwiazd¹ i spiewaj¹ kolêdy. Datki zbierane w tym dniu
s¹ przeznaczane na jakieœ dzie³o o znaczeniu ogólnoko-
œcielnym, np. misje.
B³ogos³awienie z³ota, kadzid³a, mirry
(kredy) ³¹czono zawsze z zabezpieczeniem w chorobach i podró¿y. Czasami
dokonywano te¿ okadzenia mieszkañ.
Podnosi to rangê teologiczn¹ domu podkreœla siê tu jego wymiar jako
"Koœcio³a domowego". Nape³nienie
domu woni¹ kadzid³a oznacza, ¿e wszystko pragniemy czyniæ na chwa³ê Boga.
W "Obrzêdach b³ogos³awieñstw dostosowanych do zwyczajów diecezji polskich" w dniu Objawienia Pañskiego jest przewidziany
obrzêd poœwiêcenia kredy i kadzid³a. Jeœli g³owa rodziny
oznacza drzwi mieszkania mo¿e uczyniæ to staj¹c przed
progiem w otwartych drzwiach i mówi¹c: "S³owo cia³em
siê sta³o", na co mieszkañcy odpowiadaj¹: "I zamieszka³o
miêdzy nami". Potem pob³ogos³awion¹ w koœciele kred¹
pisze na drzwiach J + M + J (Jezus, Maryja, Józef) albo
C + M + B i bie¿¹cy rok, a nastêpnie mówi: "Niech ka¿dy
szukaj¹cy Chrystusa znajdzie Go zawsze miêdzy nami", na
co wszyscy odpowiadaj¹ "Amen". Podczas œpiewu kolêdy
(np. "Mêdrcy œwiata") mo¿na tak¿e okadziæ mieszkanie.
Z Epifani¹ wi¹za³ siê zwyczaj og³oszenia daty Wielkanocy.
Odbywa³o siê to w uroczystym obrzêdzie, po Komunii
œwiêtej albo po homilii. Praktycznym uzasadnieniem tego
zwyczaju by³ fakt, i¿ przez pewien okres w dziejach
Koœcio³a panowa³ spór o ustalenie daty Wielkanocy.
W zwi¹zku z tym Koœció³ aleksandryjski przekazywal
innym koœcio³om daty tego œwiêta oraz innych œwi¹t w roku
liturgicznym. Uzasadnienie teologiczne nawi¹zuje do
œcis³ej ³¹cznoœci narodzenia Zbawiciela z kulminacj¹ Jego
zbawczego dzie³a jak¹ jest Pascha.
Z Epifani¹ wi¹za³y siê tak¿e dramatyzacje, które
nawi¹zywa³y do pok³onu Trzech Mêdrców. Podczas liturgii
godzin odbywa³y siê tzw. officia stellae - oficja gwiazdy,
które mia³y miejsce podczas liturgii godzin albo podczas
Eucharystii. W koœcio³ach urz¹dzano procesjê ze stacjami
takimi, jak np. Magowie na Wschodzie, Jerozolima, droga
do Betlejem, ¿³óbek, ostrze¿enie anio³a, powrót, reakcja
Heroda. Uproszczon¹ ich form¹ by³y procesje do ambony
i do o³tarza.
Wielkie bogactwo teologiczne tej uroczystoœci domaga siê
dobrego do niej przygotowania, abyœmy godnie "stanêli
przed Panem i zjednoczeni z ca³ym Koœcio³em uroczyœcie
obchodzili œwiêty dzieñ, w którym Syn Bo¿y Jednorodzony,
równy Bogu w wiecznej chwale, ukaza³ siê jako prawdziwy
cz³owiek" . Mo¿na to uczyniæ podczas krêgu liturgicznego,
w czasie rodzinnego spotkania, czy w osobistej modlitwie
rozwa¿aj¹c treœci teologiczne Objawienia Pañskiego i ich
znaczenie dla ¿ycia ka¿dego z nas.

Historia kolêdy
Dawniej odwiedziny duszpasterskie rozpoczynano
w Nowy Rok lub dnia nastêpnego, a koñczono w œwiêto
Matki Boskiej Gromniczej. Z. Kolberg pisa³: "Proboszcz
lub wikary nawiedza "po kolêdzie" domy wszystkich
parafian. Towarzyszy mu organista z dzwonkiem
i ch³opiec z kobia³k¹. Ksi¹dz winszuje w ka¿dej chacie
Nowego Roku, wgl¹da w po¿ycie rodziny, wys³uchyje
dzieci pacierza i katechizmu". Pierwsze wzmianki
o kolêdzie mamy w XVII w. Wówczas to prowincjonalny
synod piotrkowski w 1607 r. i gnieŸnieñski w 1628 r.
zobowi¹zywa³ ksiê¿y, aby "na kolêdzie grzeszników
napominali, ka¿dego do pe³nienia obowi¹zków i przyzwoitoœci nak³aniali, nieszczêœliwych pocieszali". Na
wsiach utar³ siê zwyczaj, ¿e gdy ksi¹dz, chodz¹cy po
kolêdzie, wychodzi³ z czyjegoœ domu, panny i dziewczêta
stara³y siê usi¹œæ na krzeœle lub sto³ku, na którym siedzia³
duchowny. Wierzono bowiem, ¿e ta, która pierwsza
usi¹dzie, w tym roku za m¹¿ wyjdzie.

ENGAGED OR THINKING
OF GETTING MARRIED?
The Cana Conference of Chicago offers marriage preparation programs almost every weekend throughout the
year. The programs are held in various parishes and
retreat centers throughout the city and suburbs and are
conducted by trained personnel. The following are some
of the discussion topics presented: the changing nature of
marriage, the elements of effective communication, conflict management, mutual decision making, the ecumenical marriage, faith, and more.
To better address the specific and important differences
among the engaged, a variety of marriage preparation
programs are offered.
Ideally, couples should attend their program at least six
months prior to their wedding date.
For more information and to obtain a booklet explaining
each program, please contact Family Ministries/Cana
Conference at 312-751-8201 or you can register online at
www.familyministries.org/marprep.htm.
Reservations are required THREE MONTHS IN
ADVANCE of the conference a couple wishes to attend.
