In Church tradition, where the birth of Christ is celebrated on December 25, the visit of the Wise Men is celebrated on January 6, and it is called the Feast of Epiphany – where epiphany means enlightenment and revelation.
This feast had been celebrated for a long time before the Church decided to remember the birthday of Jesus on 25 December.

There is a lot of lip service paid to Christ during the Festive Season. As the time for the holidays approaches, most people begin to have Christmas parties, celebrating in the name of Christmas and even sing Christmas carols.

And after the Season is over, continue to act as if nothing significant happened.

Rev 12:12: Therefore rejoice you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.

Jewish believers always greeted each other with the word “shalom” which means peace and they wanted to say – may the peace of God be with you. And the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9 calls the awaited Messiah amongst other titles “the Prince of peace”!
