For the first several centuries of Christian history, the Baptism of The Lord was celebrated as part of Epiphany. Among Byzantine and Orthodox Christians it still is the primary event celebrated by Epiphany. The Baptism of Our Lord does not make an appearance on the Roman Liturgical Calendar until the 20th century. It is observed on the first Sunday after January 6.
