OF EPIPHANY JOYFULLY CELEBRATED IN SHEPPARTON, VICTORIA<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>First Macedonian-language Orthodox service after 30 years<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On 19 January 2026, when the Orthodox Church celebrates the great Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ \u2013 Epiphany, a historic Divine Service and festive celebration was held in Shepparton. After three full decades, an Orthodox service was once again celebrated in the Macedonian language.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the pastoral care and dedication of the Australian\u2013Sydney Diocese, and with the blessing of Archbishop Stefan of Ohrid and Macedonia, Macedonians in Shepparton heard the festive greeting \u201cGod is revealed!\u201d in their mother tongue. The service was attended by a large number of faithful members of the Macedonian community, which has been living in Shepparton for more than 70 years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This event represents a significant spiritual, cultural, and national milestone for the Macedonian community in Shepparton and beyond, bearing witness to their living faith, perseverance, and commitment to preserving the Macedonian language and Orthodox tradition in the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>The Divine Service and the Blessing of the Waters with the placing of the Holy Cross were led by Father Gavril (Galev), Abbot of the monastery in Kinglake. With prayerful dignity and pastoral zeal, he brought joy, comfort, and spiritual renewal to all those present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This Epiphany celebration will remain recorded as a foundation for spiritual renewal, a hopeful sign that the Macedonian Orthodox tradition will continue to live on and be passed to future generations, even far from the homeland. In this spirit, efforts will follow toward the establishment of a Macedonian Orthodox parish in Shepparton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>God is revealed!<\/p>\n<p>Indeed He is revealed!<\/p>\n<p>Many
