[Answer] When does 'Twelfth Night' fall, according to ancient Celtic tradition?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


When does 'Twelfth Night' fall, according to ancient Celtic tradition?


  • January 5:In the times of the ancient Celts, Christmas festivities lasted 12 days, the time it supposedly took the three wise men to make their journey to Bethlehem. The final night, or 'Twelfth Night,' falls on January 5. This date also marks the end of the 12-day winter solstice celebration. It was customary on this night for those assembled to offer a toast to the others from the wassail bowl. Wassail in Old English means "be in good health." Over time, the term came to mean the spiced ale drink itself. The celebration usually included lots of pastries, cakes and pies. Source: Almanac.com
