Many Christians around the world annually celebrate Epiphany on January 6. It is a public holiday in many countries and marks two events in Jesus Christ’s life, according to the Christian Bible. The first event was when the three wise men, or kings, visited infant Jesus. The second event was when St John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
Is Epiphany a Public Holiday?
Epiphany is traditionally a partial non-working day. Many employers give their workers at least part of the day off. Expect reduced opening hours.
The three wise men's (or kings') visit to baby Jesus Christ is remembered on Epiphany.
