Epiphany is celebrated on January 6, also called
"Three Kings Day," is the climax of the Christmas
season for Protestants.
It is the name of the season of the church year that follows Christmas and precedes Lent. The name comes from the Greek word meaning “revealing” or “manifestation.”
The Epiphany season begins on The Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, and ends on the day before Lent, which is known as Shrove Tuesday.

During these days we remember the way God takes the initiative to reveal God’s presence to us. The stories of the season include the story of the wise men following the star, the baptism of Jesus and the voice from heaven that names Jesus as the son of God, the call of the 12 disciples, the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes, and the Transfiguration of Jesus on the mountaintop.
Through these stories God’s Christ is revealed to the nations and celebrated as the light of the world. As we allow the stories of Epiphany to live in our own hearts, we grow in our identity as a Christian believer, in and through whom God in Christ continues to be revealed. We become Epiphanies as we incorporate Christ in our lives.
