The name Epiphany comes from the Greek epiphaneia, meaning “appearance” or “manifestation.” It refers to the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles (during the visit of the non-Jewish Magi) as the savior of the world. The holiday is also called the Feast of Epiphany, Theophany, or Three Kings’ Day.
