January 1 – Circumcision and Name of Jesus

The Divine Service for the 8th Day of Christmas (Jan. 1, 2023) where the Church celebrates the Circumcision and Name of Jesus.

“Blood and a Name” – Luke 2:21

Why is the circumcision of Jesus a big deal? Like so many things that God commands, the significance can be lost if not treasured from generation to generation. Praise God that Mary and Joseph did not shy away from their duty and brought Jesus to be circumcised and shed His first blood for our salvation as He begins the fulfillment of God’s commands and promises!
