The Season of Epiphany Epiphany, which means to show, is a season of light, when Jesus Christ is shown to be the light of the world. During Epiphany, God is made manifest (made obvious) through the flesh and blood presence of his son, Jesus, on earth. During the Season of Epiphany, we follow the Wise Men (also called Magi) as they follow the star to Bethlehem to find the Baby Jesus. We also follow the disciples as they learn to follow Jesus. We answer the question, "What does it mean to follow Jesus; what does it mean to go His way?" The first celebration during Epiphany is the day of Epiphany itself, which is celebrated on January 6. That day, celebrates the visit of the three Wise Men to the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem. Beginning with the star that guided the Wise Men to Bethlehem, God fills the lives of Christians with his holy light during Epiphany so that his light can shine through them into the world.
