Epiphany Period According to the current liturgical calendar of the Malankara Orthodox Church we celebrate the Feast of Epiphany (Denho) on the 6th of January as a feast commemorating the Baptism of our Lord and the Theophany (manifestation of God) occurred in the river Jordan. Even though the early Church used to celebrate the feasts of Nativity and Epiphany together, the history of celebrating those two great feasts separately can be traced back at least to fifth century and is clearly mentioned in the Apostolic Constitutions (a document most likely got compiled in the fifth century). Church commemorates St. Mary, the Mother of God, for the wonderful gift towards us on the next day after Christmas. St. Mary gave birth to our Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of the entire world. Thus Virgin Mary's unique role in the economy of salvation and her importance as first among the Saints is duly stressed through the celebration of this feast. Now Christ re-generates through our hearts, so we are also called the bearers of God and transmitters of the Divine Word through our words and deeds. Only after SEASON OF EPIPHANY Z-\-l-Imew the commemoration of Virgin Mary, the Epiphany of our Lord is celebrated and then afterwards the other commemorations and feasts come in the Epiphany season. There are seven weeks in the period of Denha. The period of Epiphany representing three years and six months which is the public ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ as D SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY mentioned in the Gospel. And on the eighth day after Christmas the Church recalls the E Presentation of our Lord to the temple and the growth of child Jesus which is the period C 1 1 8 5 1 5 1 of thirty years before the baptism of our Saviour.

Transfiguration Period A little while before His Passion and His death on the Cross, our Lord withdrew Himself for prayer on top of a hill, which is known by the name Tabor. With Him were present His three most beloved and trustworthy Disciples, Peter, James and John. This event was theophanic in nature as revealing the identity of Jesus is manifested to the Apostles. That is not only the unusual change in His appearance and the inundation of light which emanated from His face, but the witnessing of the voice of the Father and the presence of the two most holy people from the Old Testament, Moses and Elijah are confirming without a margin of doubt the divinity of Jesus Christ. The Church recites: "You were transfigured on the mount, and Your Disciples, so far as they were able, SEASON OF TRANSFIGURATION tXP-kvI-cWImew beheld Your glory, O Christ our God; so that, when they should see You crucified, they should remember that Your suffering was voluntary, and could declare to all SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY the world that You are truly the effulgent splendour of 6 4 8 4 8 4 8 the Father"! 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 More than the direct revelation of the divinity of

Period of Cross

The period of the Cross denotes the symbol of the revelation of our Saviour. By the cross of our Lord the earthly race of Adam has been saved. The cross becomes a strong wall for the faithful holy Church in the four parts of the world. It will drive out schisms, evil divisions and scandals from her. It counsels peace and tranquility in her forever. May all the children of the church be protected under the wings of the Holy Cross. The King Constantine saw the cross with great glory in heaven and learned by the writing of the stars about the greatness of its power. And he believed in its lordship and conquered the army of the barbarians. And he sent his mother Helen to seek about it in the city of Jerusalem. Queen Helen sent to the Jews and put on the zeal of justice and said to the crucifiers: "Summon and gather to me those who crucified the Scribes and interpreters and those who are SEASON OF CROSS Éo_mImew versed in all Scripture; I will speak with them and justify their words about the sign which they denied, proves their words". And with great wonder, it was found on the 13th of September. SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY And for all the faithful it was an unshaken shelter. The church exalted its feast on 14th September in every year. The Cross of Feast of Sleeba: Constantine looked in the sky and saw a token of wonder, the sign of the cross; 8 1 5 our Lord was veiled from the faithless people but it was shown and, when he inquired into the vision, it was said to him: by this sign of life you shall gain the victory. He cast down the images and destroyed the idols and gave honour to the cross alone; 14 15 16 through Helen and its rays caused to shine upon the earth. All blessed is he who has made the cross a stronghold for our souls. From age to age... The king the creation which was darkened by idols was lighted by it. Constantine saw the cross and bowed his head and worshipped it and then said: I acknowledge S you, my Lord and my God, who have given me the cross, that by it I may fight against the evil one The Church worships and honours it, because it saved her from and overcome his devices; by your cross the Church was redeemed, by your cross her children 105th Anniversary of the E  Sleebo Establishment of Catholicate in ignorance about and lack of communion with the true God, obtained life, may your cross be our protection by night and by day.
