⭐ Epiphany Countdown
When is Epiphany?
Epiphany is always January 6th — a fixed date every year, marking the traditional end of the twelve days of Christmas.
The history of Epiphany
Epiphany, also known as Three Kings' Day, is a Christian feast commemorating the visit of the Magi (the 'Three Wise Men') to the infant Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It falls on the twelfth day after Christmas, traditionally marking the end of the Christmas season, with the night before known as Twelfth Night.
In the UK, Epiphany is not a bank holiday, but it's still observed by many churches with special services, and in some traditions marks the day Christmas decorations should be taken down.
