Epiphany, Nocturn II, Responsory 1
About This Prayer
The fourth responsory of Epiphany Matins continues the theme of universal adoration: 'All they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.' The verse adds the kings of Tarshish and Arabia bearing gifts. This text from Isaiah 60:6 links the Magi's historical visit to prophetic fulfillment.
