Celebrating the Epiphany Around the World

Today, Christians around the world will celebrate Epiphany, or as some call it, Three Kings' Day. This is the official end of the Christmas season and the observance of the coming of the Magi. The visit of the Magi is shared in the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, verses 1 - 12

The well-known--and sometimes annoying--Christmas carol, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," celebrates the Christmas season, which runs from Christmas Day through Epiphany. 

Web-holidays talks about how some countries celebrate Epiphany. You can read the article at https://web-holidays.com/blog/2014/12/15/january-6-epiphany/

Wassailing, which is known as going from house to house singing while drinking wassail, is traditionally done on Epiphany Eve (January 5), also called Twelfth Night. You can find a recipe for wassail at https://www.farmersalmanac.com/holiday-wassail-punch-11649
