EPIPHANEIA (畆旅略僚竜旅留)
From Old French epiphanie from Late Latin epiphania from Ancient Greek 畆旅略僚竜旅留 (epiphaneia, manifestation, striking appearance) from 畆旅留溜僚 (epiphain, I appear, display) from 畆溜 (epi, upon) + 留溜僚 (phain, I shine, appear). English Epiphany (of Christ) since the 14th century, generic use since the 17th century.
In classical Greek it was used of the appearance of dawn, of an enemy in war, or of a manifestation of a God.
In the Septuagint the word is used for a manifestation of the Lord of Israel (2 Maccabees 15:27).
In the New Testament the word is used by the Apostle Paul (2 Timothy 1:10)
