That's right, every year on January 6, we have the Christian holy day of Epiphany. In some Christian traditions, it's also called Three Kings Day, to commemorate the journey of the Magi (often called wise men) to see the young baby Jesus. In addition to that, this day also concludes the 12 days of Christmas, and begins the season that fills the time between Christmas and Lent (which begins with Ash Wednesday).
In short, Epiphany is the season where God reveals Himself in Jesus. It is a season of miracles, all of which proves Jesus to be the one true God in human flesh. And ultimately, this shows us that God cared for His people so much that He took on human flesh and blood to bear the sins of the world in redeeming His people.
So have a blessed Epiphany today. May you be like the Magi (or the wise men), and seek Him still.
