Does anyone know the season between advent and lent ( on the church calendar)??? I know it starts with "epi", but i can't remember the rest.

Are you thinking of epiphany? It's also called Three Kings because it's the feast celebrating the visit of the three Magi (Wise Men) to the baby Jesus in the stable. It's celebrated on January 6 (which turns out to be the twelfth day of Christmas...remember the song "on the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree" and so on...).
Lent, a period of fasting, is a bit further along in the church calendar, 40 days before Easter beginnning on Ash Wednesday.
