Epiphany (Greek for "to manifest" or "to show"), is a Christian feast day which celebrates the revelation of God in human form in the person of Jesus Christ. Epiphany falls on January 6. Many of the Eastern Churches use the traditional Julian Calendar, while other Christian churches follow the modern Gregorian Calendar.
主显节（Epiphany：有出现或显示之意；东正教俗称为洗礼节）是一个天主教及基督教的重要节庆日，以纪念及庆祝耶稣在降生为人后首次显露给外邦人（指东方三贤士）；主显节是为每年的1月6日，但因不同的宗教而有不同的庆日庆祝。
