Thursday 10th January 2013 Theme of the Week: Epiphany
Although the particulars of another custom vary from region to region, many European countries celebrate Three King's Day by baking King Cake. In France it takes the form of a puff pastry with almond filling, called galette des rois; in Holland it’s King’s Bread; in England it’s called Twelfth Cake, a rich, dense fruitcake. Almost always, a coin, a bean, a ring, a plastic figurine of a king or baby Jesus, or some other trinket is hidden inside the cake and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket becomes “king” or “queen” for the day!
Father,you revealed your Son to the nationsby the guidance of a star.Lead us to your glory in heavenby the light of faith.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God for ever and ever. Amen The Liturgy of the Hours
