A manifestation or appearance of a divine or superhuman being.
The word "epiphany" is correct and usable in written English. It can be used to refer to a moment of sudden revelation or insight. For example, "The epiphany she had after seeing her reflection in the mirror changed her outlook on life forever.".
I had the truth epiphany reading an interview the hugely talented writer Chloe Hooper did with Julia Gillard just before she lost the Labor leadership in 2013.

And he doesn't suggest that the episode was some kind of dramatic epiphany.

Still resident on the Lower East Side 33 years after her fridge-door epiphany, Pfahler is contemptuous of nostalgia.
