Women’s Christmas is rooted in delightful Irish tradition. On January 6th, Irish women left the care of their households to the men for a few hours so they could enjoy each other’s’ company away from their domestic responsibilities, especially after the busyness of Christmas preparations. January 6 is also the Christian celebration of the Feast of the Epiphany, the day we celebrate the coming of the Wise Men to the Infant Jesus.
Here at First Lutheran, we celebrate Women’s Christmas: An Epiphany Celebration for Wise Women! You are invited to leave behind your responsibilities for a few hours to enjoy the companionship of other women. Beginning with a simple meal, we will reflect on three gifts that Wise Women give to each other: healing, identity, and hope for the coming year.
