Answer 1

The Epiphany in the Roman Catholic Church commemorates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Roman Catholic Church, the feast of the Epiphany broadly commemorates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. This event is an essential part of the Nativity narrative, detailed in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18-2:12). The Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th, marks the revelation of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi, who followed a star to find the newborn Christ and present Him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In art and religious depictions, this narrative is commonly represented by Nativity scenes including the three kings or Magi, which sometimes feature the figures Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar.
