Answer 2

Definition of Epiphany

A church festival celebrated on the 6th of January, the twelfth day after Christmas, in commemoration of the visit of the Magi of the East to Bethlehem, to see and worship the child Jesus; or, as others maintain, to commemorate the appearance of the star to the Magi, symbolizing the manifestation of Christ to the Gentles; Twelfthtide.

Hope that helps......

Answer 3

I think you mean Epiphany (or in Orthodoxy - Theophany). This feast celebrated on Jan. 6 (with Vigil celebrations on Jan. 5) marks the Christian celebration of when the three Wise Men (Magi) reach the baby Jesus. Epiphany means revelation (though the Orthodox term Theophany - revelation of God is more accurate). It also marks the celebration of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan.

Answer 4

Its epiphany, and its meaning:

1. a Christian festival, observed on January 6, commemorating the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi; Twelfth-day.
2. an appearance or manifestation, esp. of a deity.
3. a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
4. a literary work or section of a work presenting, usually symbolically, such a moment of revelation and insight.

Answer 5

Epiphany is a Greek word that means "To make manifest." In this season, we observe how Jesus manifest himself as Savior of the world and as the true Son of God.

Epiphany day, January 6, commemorates the visit of the Wise men from the east. Traditionally, we think of three kings; Scripture, however, never comments on what rank these men had. Nor does it tell us how many were involved in the trek or where they actually came from. It simply acknowledges that wise men from the east came to see Jesus. The fact that they knew a special star denoted a special king has led commentators to surmise these wise men were expatriate Jews and not Gentiles. But the church has traditionally observed this day as Jesus manifest as the Savior of the world-Jew and Gentile.The color for the Epiphany season is green except for the Day itself, the first Sunday of Epiphany (which focuses on Jesus' baptism), and the last Sunday of Epiphany (which looks at the Transfiguration). These three days are white, denoting purity as well as the color of high holy days. Green denotes new life in Christ.
What does Epiphany mean to us? It tells us that "God so loved the world that He sent his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." Jews and Gentiles alike are recipients of God's redemptive work.It also tells us that Jesus is true God. As true God, he was able to keep the Law perfectly in our place. He was able to die to pay for our sins so that we now have eternal life, not because of anything we have done or do, but because Jesus paid for our sins with his blood.
It also means that Jesus is our brother, taking on our flesh. He suffered as we suffer. He was tempted in every way we are tempted, as the writer to the Hebrews asserts. Yet he was without sin. He can sympathize with our struggle because he went through that same struggle himself!

Answer 6

You might mean Epiphany. It is when something unseen can suddenly be seen. The Christians have Jan 6. That was when Jesus was supposed to be shown to the wise men.
