It marks the end of the 12 Days of Christmas and the Lord's baptism by St.John in the Jordan river as well as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove confirming the truth of His word.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the eve of Epiphany, the villagers prepare a traditional feast similar to the Christmas Eve meal. Until the arrival of the priest to bless the home with Holy Water, or Chiraleisa, nobody touches the food but immediately after the blessing of the table some of the dishes are added to the feed of the farm animals "to be protected from disease and for good breeding".</span><br />
