All our pupils from Primary 4 to Primary 7 attended Mass this morning in Our Lady Mercy Church to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany.
The 6th January is special date for many Christians as it's when people celebrate how a star led the Magi - also known as the Three kings or the Wise Men - to visit the baby Jesus after he had been born.
'Epiphany' comes from the Greek word meaning 'to reveal', as it is when the baby Jesus was 'revealed' to the world.
After Mass the Primary 7 pupils led us in a short assembly to explain the special meaning behind the significance of today.
A prayer for this special day:
Father of light,
Today you reveal to people of faith your Word made flesh.
Your light is strong, your love is sure.
Draw us beyond the limits of this world into your eternal life.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
