President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, on the occasion of the great Christian holiday of Epiphany, sent a congratulation message to the Head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric, Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia, His Holiness Stefan, to the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops, the venerable monasticism and clergy, and the Orthodox believers.
Respected citizens,
On this bright and blessed day, when the heavens open and God’s light descends on Earth, I congratulate you on the great Christian holiday of Epiphany.
This holiday has a deep spiritual meaning and special symbolism in our faith. Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River does not only represent the sanctification of water, but also cleansing, spiritual renewal, and a new beginning. Epiphany is a day when we feel God’s presence in our lives, a day when we receive with an open heart the love and light that God gives us, confirming our faith in him.
Today, when we celebrate God’s revelation on Earth, we are called to show the best and brightest in this world. May this year be a year of renewal, love and unity, with God’s blessing, and may this holiday be an incentive for all of us to continue with faith on the path of love and justice, to be a light for others and to build a more beautiful world filled with mercy and unity.
Congratulations on the great Christian holiday of Epiphany!
God has appeared!
Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova
