Epiphany is a Christian holiday. In the Western Church, it celebrates the revelation of Jesus as the Christ (the prophesied Messiah or Savior) to the Magi (popularly known as the three wise men) and to all Gentiles (non-Jews).In the Eastern Church, the Epiphany commemorates the baptism of Jesus and the revelation of his divinity. It is considered the twelfth and final day of the Christmas celebration. For this reason, it is sometimes called Twelfth Day or Twelfth Night. Many Christians observe the Epiphany as the end of the Christmas season and it is traditional to leave up Christmas decorations until this day. That is definitely the tradition here in Lititz as far as the Moravian Stars are concerned.
