The feast of Epiphany has long been an important part of the Christmas season. Some cultures celebrate it almost as a second Christmas Day. The event that this day primarily commemorates, the visit of the Magi to the Child Jesus, is mentioned in only one place in Scripture, in Matthew 2:1–12; yet the Church’s tradition has always seen great significance in this celebration.

The key to the importance of Epiphany lies in its name. The word Epiphany comes from a Greek term meaning manifestation or appearance. When the Magi, travelers “from the east,” from foreign, Gentile nations, adored the Christ Child, for the first time God manifested Himself directly to the pagan peoples outside Israel.
