Also known as Three Kings' Day, the holiday is one of the oldest and most important holidays in the Roman Catholic Church, and a public holiday in Poland.
Celebrated every year on January 6, it commemorates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem to pay tribute to the baby Jesus 12 days after his birth.
The day has been a public holiday in Poland since 2011 when it was reinstated after a hiatus of more than five decades.
This year’s Epiphany feast processions, traditionally taking to the streets on that day have been limited due to the coronavirus pandemic.
