Epiphany Fun
On January 8th, St. Luke's celebrated the Epiphany story, with a pageant by our kids, and a full service of Lessons and Carols which covered the story of the Magi visiting the baby Jesus, the holy family's escape to and return from Egypt, Jesus' early life and his baptism at the River Jordan by John the Baptist. We celebrated with King Cake made by our own LIsa Nunlist (pictured with Fr. David above), a tradition brought from France to New Orleans in the 1800s. It includes a small plastic baby in the cake. The lucky person to find it in their cake receives a year of good luck and royal treatment at coffee hour. This year, Marylin Otto (left column) and Nan Palmer (right column) found the little baby in the adult cakes served after both the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services, and Ella Wickham found it in the cakes made for our kids, also served after the 10 a.m. service.
