The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and Saviour of the world. The great feast of Epiphany celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the East, together with his baptism in the Jordan and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee. In the magi, representatives of the neighbouring pagan religions, the Gospel sees the first-fruits of the nations, who welcome the good news of salvation through the Incarnation' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 528).

In celebration of the feast of the Epiphany here in Ireland, January 6th is marked by Nollaig na mBan or Women's Christmas. On this day it is the tradition for the women to get together and enjoy their own Christmas, while the men folk stay at home and handle all the chores.
