Answer & Explanation
✓ The visit of the three wise men to baby Jesus.
An epiphany is a sudden realization, but it comes from an old Greek word meaning the appearance of a god on earth. Churches celebrate the Epiphany of Jesus -- that is, the time when the world came to realize He was God -- at different times and use different events to signify it, but most Western churches think of the three magi visiting Bethlehem as the point at which humanity realized Christ's divinity (because the magi worshiped Him). (See Matthew 2, Luke 2)
