when do the 12 days of christmas begin?
25 december
in some parts of the spanish-speaking world, the emphasis of christmas day is on church attendance, and gifts are exchanged on the feast of the epiphany, when the wise men (or magi) brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the baby jesus. tradition names them caspar, melchior and balthazar. the custom of blessing homes on epiphany developed because the feast commemorates the time that the three kings visited the home of jesus, mary and joseph. the twelve days of christmas begin on christmas day (25 december) and end on 5 january, eve of the traditional date of the epiphany.
