I’ve mentioned here before that Christmas is a celebration of the Bridegroom coming for His bride. Love, love, love, the antiphon for today’s Canticle of Zechariah in Morning Prayer:

Today the Bridegroom claims his bride, the Church, since Christ has washed her sins away in Jordan’s waters; the Magi hasten with their gifts to the royal wedding; and the wedding guests rejoice, for Christ has changed water into wine, alleluia.

Happy Feast of the Epiphany!
