Feast of Christ, the King

Jesus, the Pantocrator

Final feast of the Church's Liturgical Year.

Celebrates Jesus seated at the right hand of the Father, reigning in splendor, and preparing to come (advent) again in glory to judge the living and the dead.

The feast of Christ, the King, is overshadowed by Advent and Christmas. This is a great shame because it is the summit of the whole year--the point toward which everything is moving.

At the end of the liturgical year, we celebrate Jesus coming in glory at the end of everything.

"Comfort one another with these words" (1 Thess?).

"Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!" (Rev).
