For the first time in three years, The Baptism of the Lord falls on a Sunday. Why the absence of this feast in 2017 and 2018? That is because when the Epiphany falls on January 7 or 8, the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on Monday (the next day). Last year, the Epiphany was January 7. and the year before that, January 8. This year, the Epiphany fell on the traditional date: January 6. Thus, the Baptism of the Lord falls this year on its traditional date: January 13. When the Epiphany is celebrated on January 2-6, The Baptism of the Lord is the following Sunday. Before the "Novus Ordo" first took place in 1969, the Epiphany and the Baptism of the Lord fell on January 6 and 13, respectively, regardless of which day of the week it fell on.
