Epiphany is a Greek word that means manifestation, appearance, or showing forth. Historically, Epiphany began in the eastern Church as the celebration of the nativity of Jesus Christ. As the celebration of Christmas spread eastward, Epiphany changed to its present meaning.It is ironic that in years when Chanukah overlaps Christmastide, that Epiphany is so close to Chanukah.n the Western churches (Protestants, Catholics, and Anglicans) Epiphany commemorates the âadorationâ of the Christ Child by the Magi as they presented their gifts, thereby ârevealingâ Jesus to the world as Lord and King. The preceding evening is sometimes called the âTwelfth Nightâ being the 12th Day of Christmas.
On Epiphany, the French cut the King Cake, a round cake made of frangipane layers into slices to be distributed by a child known as le petit roi (the little king) who is usually hiding under the dining table. The cake is decorated with stars, a crown, flowers and a special bean hidden inside the cake.rangipane is one of France's many traditional foods associated with Christmas celebration. Today it is normally made of butter, sugar, eggs, and ground almonds. In some anecdotes it was the kind of sweet that the noblewoman Jacopa da Settesoli brought to St. Francis of Assisi in 1226, when he was dying.
