The Twelve Days of Christmas are the festive days beginning Christmas Day (25 December). This period is also known as Christmastide and Twelvetide. The Twelfth Night of Christmas is always on the evening of 5 January. *** TRIVIA QUESTION: What seasons do the Mennonites celebrate? *** Day 8, 1 January: Feast of the Holy Circumcision of Jesus, this day was renamed after the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II 1960) to the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. The current Catholic calendar lists this day as The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
