ABOUT THE EPIPHANY OF OUR LORD . . . The word epiphany means manifestation. The Epiphany was originally observed in the Eastern Church as the feast celebrating the manifestation of Christ as God’s Son at his Baptism, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles (the Magi representing the brightest of the Gentile world) and the manifestation of his miraculous power by turning water into wine. As early as the fourth century, Epiphany ranked along with the two other major feasts of Easter (Pascha) and Pentecost. The feast entered the Western Church at some point in the fourth or fifth century but its focus came to be narrowed to Christ’s manifestation to the Gentiles.
