Just as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem, Christ urged followers to "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16, KJV) Ephiphany is usually celebrated on January 6, the 12th Day of Christmas. The free Let Your Light Shine design is appropriate for Epiphany and other occasions.
