Epiphany Procession

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Chichester Cathedral
West Street Chichester, PO19 1PX, United Kingdom

A special service celebrating the arrival of the Magi at Bethlehem, featuring a living tableau of the Nativity scene and music from the choir of St Paul’s, Chichester.

The Feast of the Epiphany recalls the visit of the Magi, the wise men, to the infant Jesus, as recounted in the second chapter of St Matthew’s Gospel.

The Bible has much to say of the journeying of the people of God and Christianity from early times was called THE WAY. This service takes the form of a procession. It recalls a journey, and teaches us about the Christian life as a journey of faith.

The response of the wise men, when they reached Bethlehem, was worship, and worship means offering:
‘They fell down and worshipped him and, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts.’
