The Octave of the Epiphany - Stolen From You and Me, but We Can Take It Back!

And this great piece of liturgical history was stolen from my good friend Vox Cantoris!

From Vox Cantoris
 
We are now at the second day within the Octave of the Epiphany. Never heard of it, eh? Well, if you follow the nervous disorder, then you're not alone. For even the 1962 does not have it. Those monsters were already there and for whatever reason. Pope Pius XII listened to that demon Bugnini and not only gutted the Holy Week but did in the Octave of the Epiphany as well. It is not only the Novus Ordo that needs to be thrown into the dustbin of history but eventually the 1962. It is not that some simplifications were not necessary but all of it went to far. There will come a time to go back to 1949 and start over!
 
The irony is that you can still find ghosts of it in the 1962 and the 1970 disaster.
 
So why not just bring it back/
 
But you can still honour it.
 
Oh, and did you know that the Church has always taught that the Epiphany, the Baptism of the Lord and the Wedding Feast at Cana all occurred on the same day as the Lord's great Manifestations?
 
No, you didn't - because they robbed you of that, too!
 
Red pill friends. Now!
Tribus miraculis ornatum, diem sanctum colimus: Hodie stella Magos duxit ad praesepium: Hodie vinum ex aqua factum est ad nuptias: Hodie in Jordane a Joanne Christus baptizari voluit, ut salvaret nos, Alleluia.

We observe this holy day, ornamented with three miracles:
Today a star led the Magi to the manger;
Today wine was made from water at the wedding;
Today in the Jordan Christ desired to be baptised by John,
so that He might save us, Alleluia.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
