Wolves
The ancient Egyptians celebrated on what is now the
sixth ot January to honor the purity of the Nile River,
at its stillest and cleanest then After the birth of
Jesus, it was naturally concluded that Christian baptism
would be held when the water was cleanest, so
Epiphany the celebration of the baptism ot Jesus
was held on January sixth This yeai the celebration is
illuminated by the Full Wolf Moon, so named for the
nesomc cry of the wolves in the deep
winter snows
