Epiphany Around the World

Epiphany is celebrated by both the Eastern and Western Churches, but a major difference between them is precisely which events the feast commemorates.

I found this explanation of Ephiphany very enlightning.

It not only explains how Western Christians celebrate this day on January 6th but, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches as well. It also includs national and local customs from Argentina to Wales.
