The Feast of Theophany is celebrated in the Church 12 days after Christmas (January 6th on the New Calendar and January 19th on the Old Calendar). The feast of Theophany is when Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. We can find the account of Christ's baptism by John in all four Gospels (Matthew 3, Mark 1:1-9, Luke 3:21-22, John 1:31-34).
At first, John did not want to Baptize Jesus, saying, "I need to be Baptized by You, and You are coming to me? (Mt. 3:14).
