Scriptures for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany

Tomorrow is the day of Epiphany, January 6. For the western church, this is the close of the twelve days of Christmas and the beginning of the Epiphany season of light and enlightening. In the eastern church, this date is celebrated as Christmas itself.

During Christmastide, I have personally compiled a list of scriptures for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. It is by no means complete but I hope to use it in future years during these holy days. I share it with you here in hopes that it deepens your spirit during the season Epiphany.
