As the Church Potluck Advent Calendar draws near its conclusion, Dale is joined once again by Dr. Michael Papazian for a fascinating exploration of a tradition deeply rooted in his own faith: the Armenian Blessing of the Water, celebrated on January 6 as part of Theophany. In the Armenian Apostolic Church, Christmas, the baptism of Jesus, and the visit of the Magi are woven together into a single, profound celebration of God’s self-revelation to the world. Dr. Papazian explains how this ancient service centers on the blessing of water with a cross and holy oil—oil believed to carry a living continuity stretching back through the apostles, to Christ, and even to Moses himself. Parishioners take this blessed water home as a sign of shared faith, communal identity, and sacred continuity across centuries. This conversation offers listeners a fresh way to think about Epiphany—not as a single moment, but as an ongoing series of divine revelations—inviting Christians of every tradition to see Christ’s presence woven throughout time, ritual, and daily life.
