Theophany Explained — The Baptism of Christ (Catechetical Lesson) This catechetical lesson explores the Feast of Theophany, the baptism of Christ in the Jordan and the great revelation of the Holy Trinity. The Father’s voice, the Son in the waters, and the Holy Spirit descending as a dove reveal God’s saving work and the sanctification of all creation. We examine the biblical foundations, theological meaning, and liturgical significance of Theophany—showing how Christ enters the waters to defeat chaos, restore creation, and make baptism a source of divine life and illumination.
