Epiphany is celebrated annually on this day. It is a major feast that commemorates, for Western Christians, the coming of the Magi and, for Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jesus' birth, baptism in the Jordan River by John, and first miracle. Churches commemorate this with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, typically on the Sunday after Epiphany (January 6) in Western traditions, or on January 19 (Julian calendar equivalent) in Eastern Orthodoxy.
