The Feast of the Baptism of Jesus (also called Theophany in many Eastern Christian traditions) commemorates the event described in the Gospels where John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River.
The Feast of the Baptism of Jesus celebrates the moment when John the Baptist baptized Jesus, a pivotal event that inaugurated Jesus’ earthly mission and revealed the Trinity. It is traditionally observed on January 6, often together with Epiphany in Western churches, while Eastern churches emphasize it as Theophany, focusing on the sanctification of water and the divine manifestation. The celebration includes blessings of water, special liturgies, and reflections on the theological importance of baptism and the incarnation.
