The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Epiphany o' the Lord

The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
The Klezmonauts, "We Three Kings of Orient Are" from Oy to the World: A Klezmer Christmas (Saint Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: The traditional observance of the Epiphany falls on 6 January, the twelfth day of the Nativity of the Lord (the famous though little-understood Twelve Days of Christmas), but in the dioceses of these United States the observance has been moved to a proximal Sunday.

It doesn't hurt that "We Three Kings of Orient Are" (or, "We Three Kings") is one of my favorite Christmas carols.
