Epiphany – Feast of the Kings
6 January 2026 — Happy Epiphany! May the little charm bring you a bright year.
Epiphany, on 6 January, is a Christian feast. In the Western tradition it recalls the visit of the Magi, who followed a star to the newborn Jesus. In France it is linked with the galette des rois (the kings' cake), a round almond pastry made of puff pastry. A small figurine called a fève (literally, a bean) is hidden inside. Traditionally the youngest person hides under the table and calls out who gets each slice, and whoever finds the fève wears a paper crown and is king or queen for the day. Families enjoy these cakes throughout January. In France the Church marks the feast on the Sunday between 2 and 8 January, so the observed date can differ from 6 January. The link to the sky is part of the story itself: the star that guided the Magi remains one of the most beloved symbols of the feast and of winter evenings.
Flying across the sky: An ethereal, bluish-silver figure made of luminous dots and fine lines, like a constellation: a delicate crown above a round, flat pie shape, with a small star drifting beside it
