The season of Epiphany begins 12 days after Christmas Day. The word ‘epiphany’ means ‘manifestation’ or ‘appearance’, and the Feast of the Epiphany marks the recognition of the newborn Jesus by the world. This is a time for thinking about, and reflecting on, the way in which the promises of Christmas become real, or have the potential to become real, in our lives and the lives of those around us.
