Epiphany

Epiphany refers to an act of revealing or making visible what was previously concealed or unclear. In religious texts, it often describes a moment when a divine presence, role, or truth becomes recognizable through an event, sign, or encounter. In literary use, an epiphany marks a turning point in understanding, when a character or audience gains insight that changes perception or interpretation. The emphasis is on disclosure rather than explanation, focusing on the experience of recognition itself and the shift in understanding that follows.
