Epiphany is one of the most important
Christian festivals, as it shows how God
comes to His people and reveals His
salvation to the world. The word Epiphany
comes from the Greek word “epiphaneia”,
which means "appearance" or "manifestation".
Every year this day falls on 6th January or
in some countries, on the Sunday that falls
between 2nd January and 8th January.
The Epiphany is an ancient Christian
festival and is important in a number of
ways. In some region, the Epiphany
celebrates the baptism of Jesus by John the
Baptist in the River Jordan. In some other
region, this day refers to the visit of the
magi (wise men) to the infant Jesus when God
revealed himself to the world through the
manifestation of Jesus. This day also
celebrates Jesus' birth. The traditional
color for Epiphany is white, which signifies
peace, purity and holiness. |
