Epiphany celebration
Students at Christ the King School in Burlington celebrated Epiphany on Jan. 6.
The feast commemorates the first manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the Magi, or Three Kings.
Students, dressed as the Magi, brought forward the offertory gifts at the school Mass celebrated by Father Justin Baker, pastor of Christ the King-St. Anthony Parish.
Some students marked the door to their classroom with the inscription 20 + K + M + B + 23, marking the year and the first initial of the kings, Kaspar, Melchior and Balthazar. The marking is said to be a reminder to treat all who enter as if they were kings.
