The Epiphany of the Lord

Epiphany is a Feast Day within the Church’s liturgical celebration of Christmas. In the current Western tradition, we associate it with the “Visit of the Magi,” or visitors from the East (the 3 Kings). Epiphany is traditionally celebrated the 12th day after Christmas, (Twelfth Night), January 6th. In 2022, we are celebrating Epiphany on January 2.

Epiphany takes its name from the Greek epiphania, meaning manifestation. Jesus, born quietly in Bethlehem’s stable, is revealed, or made manifest, as the Son of God. In the recognition by the Magi of Him as the Christ, He is revealed to the “nations.” From: Epiphany Traditions – Catholic Action For Faith and Family https://www.catholicaction.org/epiphany_traditions
