The Epiphany “Deyim, Deyim” The Epiphany takes its name from Greek epiphania which means manifestation. It is the manifestation of Christ as the Son of God. In the Maronite Church, the Epiphany marks the baptism of our Lord Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Him. On this day and in the Maronite tradition we greet each other with the saying “Deyim, Deyim” which means “everlasting, everlasting” to signify that the Everlasting will never forget to visit us. This goes back to the tradition that Jesus passes on that day and blesses the homes. The baptism infuses the life of God into the soul, making us God’s children. The origin of this sacrament is Jesus’ own baptism. He had no sins to be washed away. Rather, he sanctified the Water by his descent into it. “Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the spirit and the door which gives access to other sacraments. Through it we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God. We become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made shares into her mission”. (Catechism of the Catholic Church). Let us be faithful to the vows of our baptism and live the life of the children of God. By baptism we became a light in the world that leads others to Jesus Christ.

The Epiphany
“Deyim, Deyim”
The Epiphany takes its name from Greek epiphania which means manifestation. It is the
manifestation of Christ as the Son of God.
In the Maronite Church, the Epiphany marks the baptism of our Lord Jesus and the descent
of the Holy Spirit upon Him.
On this day and in the Maronite tradition we greet each other with the saying “Deyim,
Deyim” which means “everlasting, everlasting” to signify that the Everlasting will never
forget to visit us. This goes back to the tradition that Jesus passes on that day and blesses
the homes.
The baptism infuses the life of God into the soul, making us God’s children. The origin of
this sacrament is Jesus’ own baptism. He had no sins to be washed away. Rather, he
sanctified the Water by his descent into it.
“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the spirit and
the door which gives access to other sacraments. Through it we are freed from sin and
reborn as sons of God. We become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church
and made shares into her mission”. (Catechism of the Catholic Church).
Let us be faithful to the vows of our baptism and live the life of the children of God. By
baptism we became a light in the world that leads others to Jesus Christ.

The Finding of the Lord in the Tem-ple
أحد وجود الرب يسوع في الهيكل
From the letter to the Hebrews 7:11-19 فصل من الرسالة الى العبرانيين
يا إخوتي، لو كان الكمال قد تحقق بالكهنوت الالوي، وهو أساس الشريعة التي أعطيت للشعب، فأي ح خخر عل ا كاه رتبة »ة بعد إل أن يقو
؟«عل رتبة هارون»، وال يقال «ملكيصادق تغيير الشريعة أيضا .فمت تغير الكهنوت، ال بد م
أحد منه خدمة المذبح، سبط خخر، لم يالز اء م فالذي يقال هذا في شأنه، أي المسيح، الكهنوت سبط لم يصفه موس بشيء م الواضح أن ربنا أشرق م يهوذا، م .وم
عل مثال ملكيصادق، اآلخر الذي يقو ويزيد األمر وضوحا أن الكاهة حياة ال تزول .لم يقم وفق شريعة وصية بشرية، بل وفق قو
إل األبد، عل رتبة ملكيصادق»ويشهد له: .«!أنت كاه نفعها، وهكذا يتم إبطال وصية الكهنوت السابقة، بسبب ضعفها وعد
هللا اء أفضل، به نقترب م .ألن الشريعة لم تبلغ شيئا إل الكمال، ويتم أيضا إدخال رBrothers and sisters, If, then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood, on the basis of which the people received the law, what need would there still have been for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchiz-edek, and not reckoned according to the order of Aaron? When there is a change of priesthood, there is necessarily a change of law as well. Now he of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, of which no member ever officiated at the altar. It is clear that our Lord arose from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. It is even more obvious if another priest is raised up after the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become so, not by a law expressed in a commandment concerning physical descent but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed. For it is testified: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” On the one hand, a former commandment is an-nulled because of its weakness and uselessness, for the law brought nothing to perfection; on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke 2:41-52 إنجيل القديس لوقا
.كان أبوا يسوع يذهبان كل سنة في عيد الفصح إل أورشليما بلغ يسوع ٱثنتي عشرة سنة، صعدوا معا كما هي العادة في العيد .ولم
بي يسوع في أورشليم، وهما ال يدريان العيد، عاد األبوان، وبقي الص .وبعد ٱنقضاء أيا األقارب والمعار .فوإذ كانا يظنان أنه في القافلة، سارا مسيرة يو، ثم أخذا يطلبانه بي

Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”* But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor before God and man.
