This falls on 6 January (or 19 January in the Orthodox Church). It commemorates the visit by the Wise Men to the infant Jesus to give him gifts. Traditionally it is known as Twelfth Night, when people take down their Christmas decorations. It is also the date when some Christians mark the baptism of Jesus at the age of about 30 in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. Epiphany is particularly celebrated by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches.
