Is it a coincindence that Epiphany and Christmas Eve as celebrated by some cultures fall at the same time, or is there a deeper connection between the two?

Writer Noelle Boughton has posted a article in the Features section about the importance of remembering the December 6 anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

I was reading a news story about another man who killed his wife and daughter, and decrying the fact it had been 19 years since the Montreal massacre and nothing had changed for women facing violence – when my husband and I had a rare disagreement. 

The Montreal massacre occurred on December 6, 1989, when 14 women were killed at the University of Montreal’s School of Engineering because they were women.
