Epiphany (/ ə ˈ p ɪ f ə n i / ə-PIF-ə-nee), also known as "Theophany" in Eastern Christian tradition, [4] is a Christian feast day commemorating the visit of the Magi, the baptism of Jesus, and the wedding at Cana.
Though considered by many as a Christmas carol, [1] it is found in the Epiphany section of many hymnals and still used by many churches.

Originally, a "Christmas carol" referred to a piece of vocal music in carol form whose lyrics centre on the theme of Christmas or the Christmas season.
