The Feast of the Epiphany signifies the Magi acknowledging Jesus Christ as King.  It is celebrated in the United States on January 6.  Many Eastern European and Orthodox churches also celebrate on this day.  Traditionally, an Epiphany or King Cake is made for this special celebration.  An Epiphany cake can be either a yeast cake or bundt cake with a special trinket baked into the batter.  Whomever finds the trinket in their piece of cake will have good luck for the year!
