The Twelve Days of Christmas, also
known as Twelvetide, is a
festive Christian season to celebrate the nativity
of Jesus. In most Western Church traditions Christmas
Day is the
First Day of Christmas and the Twelve Days are 25 December – 5 January.[1] For many Christian denominations, such as the Anglican Church and Lutheran
Church, the Twelve Days period is the same as Christmastide;[2][3][4] for others, such as the Catholic
Church, Christmastide lasts a little longer;[5] the Twelve Days are different from the Octave of
Christmas, which is the eight-day period from Christmas Day until 1 January. In
Anglicanism, the term "Twelve Days of Christmas" is used liturgically
in the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States of America, having its own responsory in the Book of Common Prayer for Matins.[3]
