Epiphany, also known as Three Kings’ Day or Twelfth Night, is a Christian feast day celebrated on January 6th.
The word “epiphany” comes from the Greek word “epiphaneia,” meaning manifestation or appearance.
This day commemorates the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God to the Gentiles, represented by the visit of the Magi or Wise Men.
Epiphany marks the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of the liturgical season of Epiphanytide.
The significance of Epiphany lies in the recognition of Jesus as the Savior not only of the Jews but of all people, regardless of race or background.
Epiphany is a time to reflect on the universal message of God’s love and grace for all humanity.
The story of the Magi reminds us that faith and wisdom can lead us to encounter the divine presence in unexpected places.
Through their journey and homage to the newborn King, the Magi demonstrate that true wisdom and faithfulness are found in seeking and following God.
Epiphany challenges us to expand our understanding of God’s work in the world and to recognize His presence in everyone we meet.
As we celebrate Epiphany, may we be inspired to seek the divine in our own lives and to share God’s love with all those around us.
