Epiphany

Belief

an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists

The 12 days of Christmas is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men.  It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three King's Day)

Also called Three Kings Day, At Epiphany we recall the visit of the Magi to the Newborn Jesus: "And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.  They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house saw the child with Mary his mother.  The prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:9-12)

Epiphany is when the church celebrates the manifestation of the Son of God as the Savior and Messiah
