THEOPHANIA.
Also accented Théophania. The Latin form of Greek Theophaneia
(q.v.), meaning "divine manifestation."
... In an old German dictionary, the feast Theophania is translated
"Giperahta naht" (the brightened night), a curious accordance
with its Greek title. Indeed, before the relic-worship of the Three
Kings of Cologne had stifled the recollection of the real signification
of the day of the Manifestation, the festival was commonly termed
Perchten tac, Perchten naht (bright day, or bright night). Then
went on in Germany much what had befallen Beffana
(q.v.) in Italy. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
