WDTPRS – Epiphany – Roman Station: San Pietro in Vaticano (2002MR)
Novus OrdoEpiphany — Jan 3, 2027, Jan 2, 2028
Deus, qui hodierna die Unigenitum tuum gentibus stella duce revelasti: concede propitius; ut, qui iam te ex fide cognovimus, usque ad contemplandam speciem tuae celsitudinis perducamur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, who this very day revealed your Only-begotten, a star having been the guide, graciously grant, that we, who have already come to know you from faith, may be led all the way unto the contemplation of the beauty of your majesty.
The Roman Station for Epiphany is San Pietro in Vaticano. The only problem is that Epiphany in the Vatican is celebrated on 6 January, when it ought to be. In the rest of the world, sadly, Epiphany is moved around, thus obliterating it’s fixed character in relation to Christmas Day.
