Tribus miraculis
Tribus miraculis ("For these three miracles so wondrous") is the Magnificat antiphon at Second Vespers of the Feast of the Epiphany.
The three miracles referred to are:
- The visit of the Magi (Jan. 6)
- The baptism in Jordan (currently given its own feast, previously particularly referenced on the Octave Day of the Epiphany)
- The marriage feast of Cana (in recent lectionaries read on Ordinary Time 2, paralleling the older provision for Epiphany II)
All three are regarded as various manifestations (or Epiphanies) of Jesus' divinity.
