The Feast of Epiphany is the culmination of the Christmas season and the start of the season of Epiphany.
Epiphany celebrates Christ’s incarnation - the Son of God made flesh, made fully
human - and the revealing
of the Christ to the world.
The Orthodox Church celebrates in one great feast the birth of Christ, the Baptism of Christ and the Wedding at Cana at Epiphany.
The Anglican Church follows this tradition by remembering these three great events every year across the season.
The final feast of the season is the Presentation of Christ in the Temple - some times called Candlemas because of the tradition of blessing the candles for the year at this mass.
This is both the last great celebration of Christmas, and the turning point to Lent.
