From EWTN:

WHAT IS THE SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY? 

On this feast, the Church celebrates the manifestation (epiphany) of Christ to the Nations (Gentiles) in the persons of the Magi – also known as the Wise Men or the Three Kings. In earlier times, this feast combined two other manifestations: one that took place at the Lord’s Baptism and one that took place in Cana at the wedding feast. This is still the custom in Eastern Christianity.

Although the date of the Epiphany on the General Calendar of the Church is January 6, in the United States and some other countries it is celebrated on the Sunday after January 1 so more Catholics can participate. Thus, in 2026 the Solemnity of the Epiphany is Sunday, January 4.
