In such conditions, the cross is not cast into the water, but is held securely by the priest and dipped three times into the water. In Bulgaria, Epiphany is celebrated on January 6 and is known as Bogoyavlenie ("Manifestation of God"), Кръщение Господне ( Krashtenie Gospodne or "Baptism of the Lord") or Yordanovden ("Day of Jordan", referring to the river). g., the Anglican Church of Canada) [53] but in the Church of England the celebration is "on 6 January or transferred to the Sunday falling between 2 and 8 January". Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen," BWV 65 (BC A27) – Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach – Details, Parts / Movements and Recordings".
January 6 is a public holiday in Austria, three federal states of Germany, and three cantons of Switzerland, as well as in parts of Graubünden. Epiphanius of Salamis says that January 6 is Christ's "Birthday; that is, His Epiphany" ( hemera genethlion toutestin epiphanion). Therefore, in many celebrations there are certain similarities with the celebrations of Holy Friday during the time of Easter.In Slovenia, especially in the Western part of the country, during the first day of the year and on Epiphany, children go from house to house because villagers will give them almonds, dried figs, nuts, cookies or other good things that they have at home. Winning the Epiphany race is a great honor for both horse and rider, while the post-race celebrations, win or not, are highly festive.
The Epiphany bread/cake is known as Roscón, [145] Tortell de Reis in Catalan, and in Mexico as Rosca de reyes. Lastly, there is a German rhyme saying, or Bauernregel, that goes Ist's bis Dreikönigs kein Winter, kommt keiner dahinter meaning "If there hasn't been any winter (weather) until Epiphany, none is coming afterward. Before the race, the men line up with their horses before the priest, who will bless them by sprinkling them with green branches that have been dipped into Epiphany holy water. Some Russians think any water – even from the taps on the kitchen sink – poured or bottled on Epiphany becomes holy water, since all the water in the world is blessed this day. As elsewhere in the Orthodox world, the Russian Church conducts the rite of the Great Blessing of the Waters, also known as "the Great Sanctification of the Water" on that day (or the eve before).In 1955 a separate feast of the Baptism of the Lord was instituted, thus weakening further the connection in the West between the feast of the Epiphany and the commemoration of the baptism of Christ. Saint John Cassian says that even in his time (beginning of the 5th century), Egyptian monasteries celebrated the Nativity and the Baptism together on January 6. As in Belgium, Koningentaart (Kings' tart), puff pastry with almond filling, is prepared with a black bean hidden inside.
