Epifania, the Orthodox Church is called the divine manifestation and baptism, and the Protestant Church is called the manifestation day, which is an important celebration of Christianity. Western Christianity on this day commemorates and celebrates that the Lord Jesus Christ was first revealed to the Gentiles after being born as a human. Eastern Christianity mainly celebrates the triune God in the baptism of the Lord Christ, or by the birthday Appear to all people at once.

Epifania is a festival that celebrates the first appearance of the Jesus Christ to the Gentiles after being born. Epiphany is a very important festival. The first celebration of the Epifania was in 361. Amián Marcelinus believed that January 6 was the birthday of Christ, which was also the appearance of Christ. Amián Marcelinus asserted that the miracle happened in Ghana at the same festival. In 385, the pilgrims described the first celebration in Jerusalem and Bethlehem to commemorate the appearance of Jesus, and this day was January 6th, so this day was designated as a festival.

Epifania includes two important meanings: one is the Father ’s initiative to reveal himself in the light of the stars, in the words of the Bible, and as a Jewish teacher; the second is the response of man to the Lord, the reactions are all different. This is to let the world try to respond with the Eastern Magi to see what is the special significance of Epifania for the world's faith.

The Catholic Church celebrates the Epifania on January 6th each year; however, due to the development of urbanized society, it is generally changed to celebrate on the Sunday of January 6 on the Sunday Mass.

On this day, the children in the Venice district will receive the long socks from the legendary witch Befania, which is filled with gifts. At this time, the pastry shop will also have a lot of witch-shaped decorations and witch-shaped heart or cake .
