Epiphany falls 12 days after Christmas Day on January 6 and is a very important date in the Christian calendar; the season of Epiphany extends from January 6 until Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. The word ‘Epiphany’ comes from Greek and means ‘manifestation.’ The six Sundays which follow the Epiphany are known by Christians as the time of manifestation.
An epiphany is…
“a realization; an opening; a portal to the Divine; growing up; a magic moment that impacts you and changes you forever and you can remember it as vividly as you experienced it; a moment that changes the lens through which you view your life; our soul scratching around our head and giving us a signal to guide our lives with; a moment of descending light, open knowledge, and choice; a drastic shift in energy and change of perspective that happens in the form of a moment of clarity; something that gives you the strength to take a different direction or move forward and opens up everything; a sense of wonderment; a clarifying direction; and, that moment where you know your life is never going to be the same”
