January 6—Epiphany
The Feast of the Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, marks the end of Yule festivities. The word is not specific to Christianity, however, as Zeus's alias, "Epiphanes," can attest. It comes from the Greek epiphaneia, meaning "manifestation." In the church, Epiphany celebrates the visit of the Magi to the Baby Jesus. Traditional fare is a spice King Cake with a lucky bean baked in it.
