The Feast of Theophany, also known as the Epiphany, is a Christian celebration that commemorates the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. It is observed on January 6th in many Christian traditions, particularly within the Eastern Orthodox Church. The feast highlights the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, symbolizing the manifestation of the Holy Trinity. During the Feast of Theophany, various customs and rituals take place, including the blessing of water, which signifies purification and renewal. In some cultures, people participate in the Great Blessing of Waters, where a cross is thrown into a body of water, and individuals dive in to retrieve it, symbolizing the importance of baptism and spiritual rebirth.
