In the experience of the Epiphany celebration, the participants of the sum in the Lichen basilica were helped by the staging of the Three Wise Men, which took place immediately before the noon mass.
In his homily, the Custodian Father encouraged us to look at what today's ceremony wants to tell us. He pointed out that the Magi, according to the original Greek Gospel text, were magicians. They could read a lot from the stars. They belonged to the intellectual elite of the contemporary world. They were people curious about the universe with hearts open to the signs that were given them to read. It is important for us to be able to read this language that is understandable to all of us. Looking at the world in which we live, we can meet God. The star reminds us to see in it the wisdom and omnipotence of God who is present in the surrounding reality.
