Friends, I invite you to enter into the season of Epiphany with me — with a little bit of reflection, historic tidbits and a tipsy hedgehog! A what? Yes, a tipsy hedgehog. It’s an 18th century recipe that often graced holiday table. All it is is almond flour, sherry, cream, eggs, sugar, molded into the shape of a hedgehog. It was quite delicious. If you are interested in the recipe, leave a comment to let me know! But I chose it to celebrate Epiphany, which was officially Jan. 6. It is the day we remember the arrival of the Magi and the gifts they presented to Jesus. I embrace this time as a season of remembering to look for the Christ light shining on new paths that God is asking us to boldly take. Sadly, the world rushes us into a new year, creating too much stress that is necessary. Epiphany comes during winter, which is a time to listen to the holy hush of the season — a stillness that heals and restores us. So come! Let’s enjoy some tipsy hedgehog together and talk about how we are going to embrace winter’s holy hush and step into the year softly!
