Most people don’t know this, but technically, in the Episcopal Church Calendar (and, I’m pretty sure, other liturgical calendars), Christmas Day is not as major a festival as the Day of Epiphany — which many people have probably never heard of. I might never have heard of it, if it weren’t for my father, who grew up in the Philippines. At least, not before I became a priest.
