The Epiphany, the oldest of the Christmas feasts, is also known as Three Kings Day for the three magi who found the Christ Child after following a star to Bethlehem. It is celebrated on Jan. 6 and is the major holiday of the Christmas period in the Eastern Church.
Epiphany lasts from 6 January through the day before Lent. Thus it begins on 6 January 2008 and ends on Tuesday, 5 February 2008.
