Churchy Q&A: What is Epiphany and the season after it?

Epiphany is a feast in the Christian calendar that celebrates the revelation of God in human form to humankind. In Greek, it literally means "appearance" (επιφάνεια). In western Christianity, Epiphany is celebrated on January 6th.

Unlike Lent, for example, Epiphany is a single day. The weeks after are not the season of Epiphany, but they are named by their relationship to the feast day. This Sunday will be the fourth after Epiphany.

Bonus: The days between Christmas and Epiphany are known as Christmastide and are the origin of "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
