The Christian holiday of Epiphany, also often called Three Kings' Day, is traditionally celebrated on January 6.
The word "Epiphany" comes from the Greek word meaning "to show" or "to reveal." It commemorates the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the world.
In Western Christianity, it primarily commemorates the visit of the Magi (or Wise Men) to the infant Jesus, seen as the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles.
In Eastern Christianity, the focus is primarily on the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, which is seen as the revelation of his divinity.
