In Christianity, the Epiphany is the divine nature of Jesus being made clearly apparent (or manifested) to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.
Catholics and many other Christian Churches celebrate the feast which commemorates the visit of the Magi (or Wise Men) to the stable in Bethlehem where Christ was born is celebrated on January 6.
With love in Christ.

It is the point at which the divine universal educators realize and become fully aware of their station and historoic mission. The moment of epiphany is symbollically represented when Buddha attained enlightenment meditating under the boab tree; Moses being spoken to by the burning bush, Christ hearing the voice of god when the dove lit on his shouler, Muhammad being addressed and pushed by the angel Gabriel; and Baha'u'llah when the maid of heaven addressed him in the underground prison pit of the siyyah chal in Persia.
For us it is a moment when we realize/recognize on a profound/paradigm shift level a truth.
