Epiphany Season

What does the word Epiphany mean?  From the Greek it means “to shine upon” “manifestation or appearance”.

From LCMS NID: After focusing on the Incarnation of our Lord — God becoming flesh — during the 12 days of Christmas, the season of Epiphany emphasizes the manifestation or self-revelation of God in that same flesh of Christ

The Epiphany of the Lord is a Christian feast day, celebrated on January 6, marking the manifestation or revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God to the world.  Primarily through the visit of the Magi (Wise Men) to the infant Jesus, symbolizing His divinity revealed to all nations.

How long is the Epiphany Season?  January 6th thru Feb 8th
