epiphany. Epiphany is the Christian “Little Christmas,” Janu- ary 6, commemorating the manifestation or appearance of Christ to the gentiles, as represented by the Magi. The word, first recorded as far back as 1310, comes to us from a Greek word meaning “to manifest or appear” and originally referred to the gods of the Greeks making sudden appearances. Today epiphany can mean a sudden insight into the reality or meaning of something as well as an appearance. |
