Text Box: CELEBRATION OF EPIPHANY Epiphany marks the climax of the Christmas season and the Twelve Days of Christmas which are counted from Dec. 25th, with Epiphany being on Jan. 6. The word "epiphany" means manifestation in Greek, and is defined as "to show", "to make known", or "to reveal". Traditionally, it remembers the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to visit the Christ child and in doing so "revealed" Jesus to the world as Lord and King. As a part of the reformed tradition, we celebrate Epiphany as a period of time, a season of the church year. The season of Christmas begins with the first Sunday of Advent, marked by expectation and anticipation, and concludes with Epiphany, which looks ahead to the mission of the church to the world in light if the Nativity. The period between Christmas Day and Epiphany is called Christmastide. The season of Epiphany extends from Jan. 6th until Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of Lent leading to Easter.
