A Theophany is a mystical event in which earthly objects interact with heavenly events. for example, the star the Wise Men followed to find Jesus was a Theophany and the water in which Jesus was baptised and the blessed Trinity appeared was a Theophany. An Epiphany is a mystical event when a heavenly event occurs on earth such as the Transfiguration. In this sense, the "overshadowing" of the BVM by the Holy Spirit as well as Pentacost could be considered epiphanies as well.
