The presence of a deity among mortals is called epiphaneia in Greek. The same term denotes a king's visit to a favorite city. He was greeted with pomp and circumstance. Days were spent feasting and reveling, all to the detriment of the king. The Lord's significant presence to His subjects with signs, miracles, and gifts was offered at His own cost. That is known as the Epiphany of Jesus. The magi, or the assembly of the gentiles as God's creatures, are the focus of Epiphany. It is all for our Lord's Baptism, who prepares the waters of Baptism for us.
