Did you know the word "epiphany" not only means an "a-ha!" moment, but also refers to an ancient church holiday celebrated on January 6? In this video, learn how a single celestially-guided voyage, which led magi to Baby Jesus, was an epiphany for the whole world.

We also have a 1-minute version suitable for Instagram.

If you have additional questions, Ask The UMC explains more about Epiphany.

Ask The UMC answers other questions about The United Methodist Church and faith-related topics. Check it out.
