'Tis the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord: Epiphany-link, Wikipedia-link Epiphany, & Wikipedia-link Magi.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:

Feast day that celebrates the revelation of God in His Son as human in Jesus Christ. In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, & thus Jesus's physical manifestation to the gentiles.

Otherwise, 8 January would be the feast of Saint Apollinaris Claudius, Bishop (died circa 175, A.K.A. of Hierapolis, the Apologist): Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
