L'Épiphanie (French pronunciation: [lepifani]) is a town in Lanaudière, Quebec, Canada. It has about 4,000 inhabitants and was 150 years old in 2004. Its located on the bank of the L'Achigan river.
On May 23, 2018, the town was enlarged when the Parish Municipality of L'Épiphanie was added to it.[4]
Name
Since 1732, the place was known as L'Achigan, thus taking the name of the river flowing through its territory. It was not until 1853 that the name L'Épiphanie appeared. This coincided with the moment of the canonical establishment of the parish, which had just separated from L'Assomption. Historians generally agree to see in this name the transposition of a Sulpician custom. They were owners of the Saint-Sulpice seigneury within which a large part of the territory of L'Épiphanie was included. On January 6 of each year, the day of the Epiphany, the Sulpicians came to celebrate a mass and took advantage of it to collect the seigniorial rents which were due to them. Ignace Bourget, Bishop of Montreal from 1840 to 1876, would have liked to recall this custom by retaining the name L'Épiphanie.[5]
