(the 12th day after ‘christmas’)

(ee-piff-any)
.
(“epiphany” , also “theophany” or “three kings’ day”, is a christian “feast day” that celebrates the revelation of “god” in his son as human in “jesus christ”)
(in ‘western christianity’, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the “magi” to the “christ child”, and thus jesus’ physical manifestation to the “gentiles”)
(moreover, the feast of the ‘epiphany’, in some ‘western christian’ denominations, also initiates the liturgical season of “epiphanytide”)
(“eastern christians”, on the other hand, commemorate the ‘baptism of jesus’ in the “jordan river”, seen as his manifestation to the world as the “son of god”)
(the traditional date for the feast is “january 6th”)
(however, since ‘1970’, the celebration is held in some countries on the ‘sunday’ after ‘january 1’)
(eastern churches following the “julian calendar” observe the feast on what for most countries is ‘january 19th’ because of the 13-day difference today between that ‘calendar’ and the generally used “gregorian calendar”)
(in many ‘western christian’ churches, the eve of the ‘feast’ is celebrated as “twelfth night”)
(the monday after ‘epiphany’ is known as “plough monday”)
(alternative names for the feast in ‘greek’ include (τα) Θεοφάνια, theophany as ‘neuter plural’ rather than ‘feminine singular’, η Ημέρα των Φώτων, i Imera ton Foton (modern greek pronunciation), hē hēmera tōn phōtōn (‘restored classical pronunciation’), “the day of the lights”, and τα Φώτα, ta fota, “the lights”)
(popular epiphany customs include “chalking the door”, consuming “3 kings cake”, as well as attending ‘church services’)
