Actually, Epiphany is celebrated to mark the date when the Wise Men meet the baby and bring gifts. Its the 12th day of Christmas, traditionally speaking the 12 days of Christmas are the days between Christmas day and Epiphany. Not the days leading up to Christmas like popular idea says. Its also the day when Jesus gets named and circumstized(sp?) because back then if a baby made it a week, or so, it was pretty likely they would continue to live for awhile (longer).
My contribution to the convo. :)

I was raised Baptist, and so Epiphany is not something I know anything about.

It's something we crazy Presbyterians celebrate. ;)

I played basketball once against an elementary school called Epiphany (we lost - they were awesome) but that's all I know. Do you guys actually celebrate this, like Christmas, or do you just observe it, like Presidents Day?

WOW.

Huge ups to Teri there. I'm actually a little ashamed by how little of that I knew, even though I've read the story so many times. I'm way impressed.

Call me crazy, but I'd much rather pay taxes to Augustus than Palpatine.
