Appearance of a divinity before men. It has Greek origin: 952; 949; 959; 962; ( theos "god") 966; 945; 957; 949; 953; 957; ( fanein "appear" ) . [Note: in the definition of colleague Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez there is a confusion with the neologism theophony, which while it may also be a theophany, only refers to the singing, to the voice, to the heard word of a deity.]
