Monday Musings ... Epiphany

What is the  Epiphany? According to Merriam-Webster here is the definition of Epiphany. "Epiphany is observed on January 6 as a church festival in commemoration of the coming of the Magi as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles."

Why is this significant for Christians? This celebration represents when the Wise Men came to give gifts to the baby Jesus. It is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, when Christmas officially ends. One account of this event is recorded in Matthew 2:1- 12.


Our Christmas tree remained decorated until January 6. Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, when did you take your tree down.
