The Vigil of the Epiphany prepares the Church to celebrate Christ’s manifestation to the nations. Drawing on Old Testament prophecy, especially Isaiah’s vision of light dawning upon the Gentiles, this vigil anticipates the revelation of the Messiah to all peoples (Isaiah 60:1–3). The Church keeps watch in joyful expectation of Christ’s appearing as the Savior of the world.
This vigil invites attentive waiting and reflection. As we prepare to celebrate Christ revealed to the nations, may our hearts be ready to receive Him in faith and to rejoice in the light that shines in the darkness (Matthew 2:1–2).
