Epiphany

The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth." St. John 1.14

Epiphany: the original 12 days of Christmas.

Epiphany is the twelfth day of Christmas, and the Eve of the Feast of the Epiphany. For at least fifteen hundred years Christians have celebrated the manifestation, or showing forth of the glory of God in Jesus Christ. The Eternal Word of God made flesh.

The Season of Epiphany begins on the eve of Epiphany, 6 January, and ends on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday.
