What is Epiphany?
Epiphany celebrates the revealing of Christ to the world, remembered above all in the wise men who followed the star to worship the newborn King. It closes the season of Christmas and opens a season of light, the good news that Jesus came not for one people only but for all nations.
In the Word
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.Matthew 2:2 (KJV)
