Moving holy days like Epiphany to the nearest Sunday is like moving Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, etc. to the nearest Monday. It may be more convenient, but it dilutes the event’s significance.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

If things keep going we may not even have Christmas off anymore. Many already don't. They have to work. It's a shame. Life is to busy for God. Christmas for most people is all about the gifts and that's all that matters. Here at work the Christmas decorations are still up. Not because we are honoring God, but simply because everyone has been to busy to take them down. Or so they think.

I sound old now I know. But the Christmas season is more like the Super Bowl. One big day and then everyone moves on with life.

I don’t like having the Epiphany on a Sunday.

Have it on January 6th always.
