The Feast of the Epiphany recalls the visit of the Magi, the wise men, to the infant Jesus, as recounted in the second chapter of St Matthew’s Gospel.
The Bible has much to say of the journeying of the people of God and Christianity from early times was called THE WAY. This service takes the form of a procession. It recalls a journey, and teaches us about the Christian life as a journey of faith.
The response of the wise men, when they reached Bethlehem, was worship, and worship means offering:
‘They fell down and worshipped him and, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts.’

For over 950 years, Chichester Cathedral has been a place of worship, welcome and community. Today, it costs us approximately £7,000 a day to maintain the Cathedral.
Chichester Cathedral does not receive any regular funding from government or from central church sources, and relies heavily on generous donations.
A cash collection will be taken during this service. We kindly ask you to make a donation to help to secure the future of this Cathedral.
