Epiphany

January sixth celebration

Epiphany is a Christian feast day on January 6, celebrating the revelation of Jesus to the Magi (the three wise men).

It marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas.

In some traditions, Epiphany is when gifts are exchanged rather than Christmas Day.

The date is also called Three Kings' Day or Twelfth Night. (Lowercase epiphany is a moment of sudden insight.)
