Welcome to our celebration of Christ and his light that will lead us beyond the evils of Satan, as He himself was able to do. To understand today's celebration we must look at the history of salvation and how it leads us to be baptized into the life of Christ. To be, we look at the creation of man. The Lord created the world and humanity in 7 days, of which the seventh day is the day of rest. (Book of Genesis) He began by creating light and darkness, or as we commonly know them as day and night, and then the creation of the heavens.
