The trip wasn’t called Epiphany. Epiphany is from the Greek for appearance, and begins January 6th with the arrival of the wise men and the appearance of Jesus. Epiphany season lasts about a month each year and commemorates other appearances of Jesus, such as the baptism by John and the wedding at Cana.
