Originally, Epiphany encompassed 4 theophanies (the manifestation/ revelation of God to man) events:• The Birth of Christ at Christmas, which revealed Christ to Israel. • The revelation of Christ to the Gentiles, in the visit of the Wise Men. • The Baptism of the Lord, which revealed the Trinity and as well introduced Christ to the world. It remembers the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to visit the Christ child, who by so doing “reveal” Jesus to the world as Lord and King. Epiphany, thus reflects the manifestation of Jesus to the world especially the Gentiles, represented by the wise men from the East.
