Epiphany: 1) to make known through something simple and striking, such as light; 2) celebrated by Christians on January 6, the day after the 12 Days of Christmas.

In the midst of one of the wettest, gloomiest winters in memory, it was downright exciting when the sun finally peaked through the clouds this afternoon. "The sun!" yelled Joe. "Everyone outside now!" We gladly left behind our inside chores and rushed to the park to enjoy the sun's rays and blue skies for a while.
