What is Epiphany?

Epiphany on January 6, also called the Feast of the Three Kings, commemorates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. In Germany it is a public holiday in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt. Around this date children dressed as the Three Kings go from door to door as Sternsinger, star singers, collecting money for children's charities and chalking a blessing such as 20*C+M+B+27 above the door.
