About Epiphany holiday in Finland
Epiphany, known as *Loppiainen* in Finland, is celebrated on January 6th and marks the end of the Christmas season. It commemorates the visit of the Three Wise Men to the baby Jesus and is a public holiday in Finland. Traditionally, Finns attend church services, and many families take down their Christmas decorations on this day. A popular custom is enjoying a special pastry called *loppiaistorttu*, a star-shaped puff pastry filled with plum jam. Epiphany is a quiet and reflective holiday, often spent with family, as Finns transition from the festive season back to everyday life.
