I caught a Catholic believer on this a couple of years ago.  We started talking about the James Taylor song that sings about how God showed mercy to the Magi, sending them home by another way.

The woman was shocked because even the liturgy separates their observance of epiphany from the advent celebration.  Epiphany comes a few days after the new year on our calendar.  She didn’t believe me until she realized the subtleties in her own tradition that identified the epiphany (“upon the revealing” of the Messiah to the Magi).

It sounds like one of those trick questions on an intelligence test or the GRE.
