If you're asking for the definition, an epiphany is a sudden realization about something (usually something spiritual) which comes about from something you do everyday.

For example, if you are at a place of prayer and have a sort of a revelation, you could not call it an epiphany because it's common for one to have a spiritual "aha!" moment while participating in something religious. However, if you have a similar "aha!" moment while slurping up some chicken soup with a friend at the local cafe before heading to work, that would more likely be an actual epiphany.

An epiphany doesn't always have to relate to something spiritual, however it originally meant the appearance of a deity, especially that of Jesus according to Christian belief. So people tend to refer to an epiphany as a sudden spiritual insight.
