The 12 DAYS of Christmas

There is an English song that starts like this “On the First day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree.”
The true origin of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is from France ..Alas 3 French hens.. These songs have lasted throughout the ages. Twelve days of Christmas starts on boxing day or Christmas day. It depends what you read? They haven’t agreed on this one. You are allowed to continue your merriment for twelve more days after Dec25th. NICE! I don’t think I have ever practiced this long time tradition. What happens on the 12th day? The 12th day stops on January 6th. The 12th day is called the Epiphany. This has a religious meaning, described as the “vision of God”..a revelation that Jesus Christ is the son of God. That is an Epiphany. I had a basic understanding that epiphany was a sort of revelation of some sort. The origin was something I never thought about. Now I know. I am enlightened. I would rather have an epiphany..that’s more fun and dare I say a rare day!
