Epiphany: Who Celebrates Today, January 6th

Today, January 6th, the Church celebrates Epiphany, one of the most important Christian holidays commemorating the revelation of the Holy Trinity during the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. According to the narrative, John the Baptist initially refused to baptize Jesus but was eventually persuaded. During the baptism, the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove, and the voice of God was heard proclaiming Jesus as His beloved Son. This feast marks the beginning of the Sacrament of Baptism and the regeneration of man through faith and obedience to God's commandments. Those named Theophanes, Theophania, Photis, Photini, and Fotios celebrate their name day today.
