Epiphany

The universal, worthy and compelling nature of The Epiphany of the Lord.
"Universal" in that he was made manifest to the whole world. Our Lord's coming is not a 'private revelation.'
It's "Worthiness" is reflected in the gifts: Gold for his royalty, incense for his divinity, and myrrh for his saving death.
"Compelling" in that it beckons us to come to worship, no matter how far away we are. At the same time Herod rejected him.
