Christophany

/ˌkrɪsˈtɒfəni/ noun

Definition

A manifestation or appearance of Christ, especially a supernatural or divine appearance of Jesus Christ.

Etymology

From Greek Christos (Christ) combined with -phany (from Greek phainein, 'to show' or 'to appear'). The term follows the pattern of 'epiphany' (showing of God) and 'theophany' (showing of God).

Kelly Says

The word 'christophany' is much rarer than 'theophany' or 'epiphany,' which shows how Christian theology gradually separated Jesus's appearances from general divine manifestations—it's a linguistic record of changing religious doctrine.
